[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 117461, member: 2211"] I had never heard of this until I moved up here from NY, but here in CT they have this thing called a "Jack & Jill" party. Usually friends of the bride and groom throw a party. The 'cover charge' to get into this party is usually $20/person. Usually there is a keg and wine with lite food supplied by the organizers of the party and if people want to bring food/drink they can. But usually the family supplies the snacky foods. These parties are usually held in a Knights of Columbus or Portuegese Club type of place. We know lots of friends who have netted over $2000 dollars because many of the attendees give more than $20/person or bring friends...which is encourage. The idea is that the cover charge pays for most of the supplies/rental costs and the rest is a gift to the bride and groom. It is rude to suggest money as a gift, but if they are not registered anywhere, most people will give cash. And if close friends or family asks you or the grooms parents, they should tell people that the happy couple are saving for a home. Congrats! [/QUOTE]
