Now that you are officially engaged, why not savor the moment?
The size and formality of your engagement party is completely up to you. As long as you are enjoying yourself, it doesn’t matter how big or formal it is.
An engagement party is an important tradition of getting your loved ones together to celebrate a new stage in your life. It’s a chance for you and your fiance to share a bit of what you love about each other and show off why you’re great as a couple.
Here are some sweet ideas to get you started!
Serving tasty food and drink is a classic way to gather close friends and family for a celebration. A delicious meal and good conversation will add joy to the occasion—and the possible variations of style and cuisine are endless. Do you want the meal to be served in the restaurant or at your home? Do you want it to be a sit-down dinner or is buffet-style better for you? Trendy or traditional; elegant or rowdy—it’s hard to go wrong with the classic dinner party!
Barbecue Party
Rather than renting out a venue, simply invite your guests to come hang out in your backyard space. The fresh air and informal atmosphere will make it easy for your guests to relax and enjoy the day. It will also give you a chance to show off some of your favorite features of the lawn and garden. Plan a low-key barbecue with lawn games like cornhole or horseshoes to keep the event simple and fun.
Pool Party
Pool parties can be a blast! They’re a great way for friends and family to celebrate your engagement—and to start anticipating your wedding! Send a message with instructions to wear sunscreen and bring a bathing suit. Pool games, squirt guns and boozy popsicles are also recommended.
Glamping
Have you considered hosting your engagement party in a glamping tent? They’re the perfect way to spoil your guests and make it into a fun camping adventure! Glamping tents are a wonderful option for an overnight engagement party. They are much more affordable than a hotel room but offer you the same comfortable and slightly glamourous feel!
Wine-Tasting Or Cocktail Party
Eat, drink and be merry at a wine-tasting party in honor of your engagement! Why not experience some of the best wine the region has to offer? Or, hire a sommelier to come to your house and teach you all about your favorite drink. (They usually come with hors d’oeuvres!) If wine isn’t your thing, then make it a cocktail party. Hire a bartender to serve guests and share tips on how to make the various drinks.
With these simple ideas, you can plan a beautiful and meaningful engagement party in 2023 that reflects your personality and style. Whether you choose a cozy backyard barbecue, a chic rooftop cocktail, a creative craft session, or a relaxing spa day, you can enjoy the company of your loved ones and get ready for the next chapter of your life!
