I got an invite to my friend's Jack & Jill party and "tickets are on sale for $20". that seems extremely weird. do you think they'll charge me to attend the wedding?

no it isn't that urban dictionary thing. I think it's kind of a combo bridal shower party thing but for the guy too.

Considering that most people have never heard of a "Jack and Jill" party, and have no idea WTF it is, what do you expect?

So the big question is will you be attending this party. If so, which variation will it be?

BTW, they're probably charging you for the liquor you'll be drinking there unless it's BYOB

Or a couples shower.
Wow, some of those variations are seriously twisted.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of eating my own jizz. I wouldn't even want my GF to eat my jizz.. unless she wanted too.. :confused:

"don't like the idea" is putting it lightly. I would be fvcking repulsed at that.

I have not paid to attend a party since I was in high school.

It seems very odd.

The urbandictionary ideas sound like fun (well, some of them anyway :) ), but the idea of paying to attend one of those sounds silly. It would be more fun with a mixed group of like-minded friends/acquaintances.

Before hand she has made a list of the items she is willing to do if the man fails to get her an organism and what she is willing to do if she does get an organism.

It's not very normal to invite people to a party and then charge them for it. But a lot of people lack social graces any more. I would just send a gift and decline to attend.

I get invitations to weddings where they boldly state that cash gifts are preferred so they can use the money for their honeymoon in Bali or somewhere else exotic. People don't RSVP for events then just show up.

Asking people to pay to come to a wedding shower is not normal and is quite rude. They shouldn't hold it somewhere that expensive if they don't want to pay for it. Especially since you are normally also expected to bring a gift....

i agree.

this is the first i've ever heard of having to pay to go to a wedding shower.

i have heard of having to pay to go to a wedding, but not in so many words. the bride/groom asked to forego their gift to them and donate towards the reception.
