When Should We Have Our Jack and Jill?

View quoted message Hey! Ours is still coming up! It’s in June! Everyone is still super excited! Nobody has said anything about the date related to the wedding At all! We found that this so far has been less financially stressful and has given us time to recover financially from anything spent for the wedding like our deposits for vendors, and still pay off what we did spend for our jack and Jill! My MOH did hers close to the wedding and she said she regrets it because it was just a lot of stress and a lot of financial burden up front! A Halloween theme is awesome, everyone loves a good costume party, and is always looking for somewhere to party!

View quoted message Hi! I'm curious how your Jack and Jill went? I'm in the exact same boat. I want to have a Halloween Jack and Jill but the wedding will be a year later! Did you feel it was too early , did anyone comment on the wedding being still so far away? Also If you have any tips for the Halloween theme let me know !.

You can have it whenever you want! i would do it early so then you can use that money to put down deposits for hall, dress, dj, decor etc.

Most people that do a Wedding Shower in Manitoba have it in the spring before their wedding no matter how long from their wedding is - but there is no need to go according to the norm. As long as the money earned is going to the same place it won't be a problem!

Only time that I've heard of having the social so far from the wedding is when the couple splits up in the time in between...

I’m getting married in sept 2020 and having our jack and Jill on nov 2 2019. First because I loved the idea of a Halloween party jack and Jill and second we need the money! Hah

I have been to a couple stag and does that were a year before. I don't think that is uncommon. You'll want enough time between the two for planning anyway I think. Good luck

That’s not too soon at all! Many people do it about 7 - 3 months before hand. So going it a year in advance is giving you plenty of time for payments.
You guys have to do what will work for you time wise so you aren’t stressed with everything happening super quick!
