Couples Showers

Couples showers are parties thrown for the bride and groom. They are also known as "Coed or Jack and Jill" showers. Instead of the traditional event, many couples like the idea of a "together" party. Men are becoming more involved with all aspects of the wedding plans, so this is becoming more popular.

Typically, the bridesmaids will host the party.  However, anyone close to the couple can do this. This is also a perfect time to involve the groomsmen. You can ask them to offer party suggestions and ideas. You could also assign tasks they can to help with the day of the event.

***Sometimes there is confusion with the term "couples shower"
This applies to the guests of honor. It doesn't mean guests have to come in pairs.

Make A Plan

• Your location could be a favorite place of the future bride and groom. Do they have a special restaurant? You might also choose a rental hall, or someone's
home.
*** Have a limousine escort them to the party, as an extra special touch.

• Choose a date and time that is convenient for all.
In some cases, evenings work out better. Weekends are still popular.

• Before sending invitations, ask the pair (or someone close to them) to compile a list. Guests and friends of both partners are invited. Decide on the number to be invited. Ask both men and women, according to their importance to the couple.

• Let guests know the type of shower. You can have either one person in charge of RSVP's, or have the bride's side respond to one person, and the groom's side to another.

• Parties with a theme are a fun way to entertain. Think about this pair's interests. Do they play or watch the same sport? Do they have similar taste in music? How about gardening,
travel, art, etc.?
