Jack and Jill Ideas!

[Jules2]

Hey everyone! As we all know, throwing a Jack and Jill party is a great way to raise money for the soon-to-be-married couple! Do you know any fun ideas that really get people dishing out their cash?! Here are a few games and contests that I have seen work wonders!

1. Raffles - With simple donated prizes such as wine, chocolates, gift baskets, day trips, etc., a couple can rake in quite the cash with ticket sales!
2. Toonie Toss - Competition drives participation! Have all of the guests chuck a toonie at a mickey or another bottle of booze from across the room and you'll see the money fly! Closest to the bottle wins it!
3. Joker Poker - Set up a large dart board with playing cards stuck to it. Players must get a valid poker hand with five darts or less to win! Jokers are wild and this makes for a wild time!

Those are a few games I have experienced to be quite successful at a Jack and Jill! Feel free to post your own experiences or ideas for other games that would be a hoot!!!

I really like those ideas, especially the raffle game. I played them at my last party and the couple was able to raise a lot of money.

A source close to Manny Ramirez(notes) said Thursday that the illegal substance for which the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger tested positive was not “an agent customarily used for performance enhancing.”Dallas Cowboys jerseys
The story of how Manny Ramirez was nabbed by baseball's drug-testing policy is rooted as much in the language of the collective bargaining agreement as Arizona Cardinals jerseys it is in the fact that the Los Angeles Dodgers' slugger had synthetic testosterone in his body when he was tested this past spring.
