Engagement parties can be a fun way to announce and celebrate your engagement, but not everyone has one. Should you have one? And how many people should I invite?- Engagement parties allow you to announce your engagement to your nearest and dearest friends and family.
- They're a great way for your families and friends to get to know each other, from both grooms and bride to be sides.
- Having an engagement party forces you to have a sense of your wedding guest list early, as you shouldn't invite anyone who won't be invited to the wedding.
- If you are in a budget, just remember an engagement party, is an extra event to plan for and PAY for, or to have someone else plan and pay for.
- If you don't have a particularly long engagement (6 months or less) it may seem awkward to have another party so close to your wedding. My opinion, again if you are on a budget, announce your happy engagement with your immediate family at a restaurant.
Who should host your engagement party?
Traditionally, the parents of the bride host, but today there aren't hard and fast rules. The bride and groom can host it themselves, or a friend or other family member can undertake the hosting duties, many couples these days have event planners host and plan the engagement party.
