Engagement Party
“Celebrate what you want to see more of.”
— Thomas J. Peters (author)
-
Why.
This event is meant to bring both sets of family and friends together to help everyone get to know each other better.
-
Hosting.
The bride’s family traditionally hosts, but anyone can do it. Do whatever makes the most sense for you.
-
When.
It should take place no later than three months after your proposal. Any later than that, and people will be putting their focus on the wedding.
-
Who.
Everyone you invite should also be invited to the wedding. Why have anyone come and celebrate your engagement but not your marriage?
-
Attire.
There are no set rules, so it can be as formal or informal as you want.
-
Gifts.
No one needs to bring a gift. It’s all about celebrating this life-changing moment.
-
Food.
Provide a little comfort food, bite-size desserts and some drinks for a toast or two.
