• Make sure the bride / groom will be available that day and are dressed appropriately for the event.
• Showers / Jack and Jills can be held anytime between the engagement and the wedding.
• On shower invitations, make sure to indicate where the bride and groom are registered. (We offer a registry too!)
• Typically, only those invited to the wedding should be invited to a shower. However, anyone can attend the Jack & Jill.

Make an appointment to visit our showroom.
We'd love to help you with your plans!
 

• Use our unique Prize Box as a fundraiser. The locked box has a siren and a light on top. You sell keys (we give you approximately 300) and guests try them out at a certain time. The winning key opens the door, the light on the top and the siren goes off and the winner wins the prize inside.
• Jack & Jill tickets can be printed at I Do... For You, they take 1 week to order.
• How about a centrepiece toss where guests throw their coins into a centrepiece filled with water. Those who make it in, win a prize!
• Our shower guestbook is complete with a greeting section for guests to write special thoughts.
• We have many favours, perfect for showers. How about a wooden spoon with the end decorated in tulle/ribbon? The bride dress shaped box is adorable. We also carry boxes, perfect for placing sweets inside. The bride dress shaped box is adorable.
• Depending on how elaborate your shower is, we offer over 20 styles of centrepieces to decorate your shower guest tables.
• How about having the bride  and groom wear a T-Shirt that says "Bride" and "Groom"!
• If you are planning a shower or a Jack & Jill in the Durham Region or surrounding area, email us to receive  our "Thoughts for Showers and Jack & Jill's " Newsletter. This publication is full of more ideas to help you plan your event. This is sent out by snail mail or email. Simply include your name, mailing address and date of event.
• Looking for door prizes? Our showroom is full of lots of gift items perfect for prizes.

• A unique twist, have someone present some items on a tray to the guests. Many have seen this before and will look at the tray and try to memorize the items. The person leaves the room with the tray. Guests are told they must write down as many things they can remember about the "Presenter", not the tray! The person with the most correct observations wins.

• This is sure to cause lots of laughs. You need 1 die and a non breakable gift wrapped up a million times. You also need 2 wooden spoons and oven mitts. Bride starts this game off, she must wear the oven mitts and with the 2 wooden spoons take as many layers off the present as possible before the next player in line rolls a 6. Once a 6 is rolled it is that players turn to unwrap the gift with the oven mitts on and the wooden spoons until the next player rolls a 6. The last player to unwrap the gift, wins the gift.

• How about  "Pin The Lips on the Fiancé"? Have a poster size photo of the groom -to-be and make a pair of lips. Blindfold shower guests, turn them three times. The closest to the groom's lips wins!
