It is a tradition. Jack andJill was a celebration prior to the wedding in order to raise money for the couple. An example of this would be charging invited guests an admissions fee of $5,000 to attend a party. In the modern era, the Jack-and-Jill has become more of a tradition.
It is not uncommon for couples to hold a wedding reception at their home, and then invite friends and family to join them for dinner and drinks. This is a great way to show off your love for each other and show that you are committed to being together for life.
