What is Couples Shower?

A couples shower (also called a "Jack and Jill shower" or "co-ed shower") is a modern alternative to the traditional bridal shower that celebrates both members of the engaged couple. These events include guests of all genders and often feature activities that both partners enjoy. Couples showers are popular when the groom wants to be included in pre-wedding celebrations, when the couple has many mutual friends, or when they prefer a more casual, party-like atmosphere. Activities might include couples games, barbecues, cocktail parties, or themed events. Gifts are typically for the couple's shared home.
