Any excuse is a good excuse for a party, and what better excuse could there be than an engagement? Here's some tips to help get your feet wet as a newly engaged couple.
1. The theme
If you've already decided on the theme and colour of your wedding, you could choose to host an engagement party in complement to that theme. Else if you don't want to provide a sneak preview of the wedding, pick a contrasting theme.
2. The guestlist
Decide on how big you want your party to be. Do you want it to be an intimate gathering of family? Does it include friends? How about work colleagues? Neighbours?
3. The venue
The venue is largely dependent on the number of guests, but options to consider are your backyard or house (which helps cut down on the costs), a nice neighbourhood restaurant or a hotel hall.
4. The food and drinks
Going for something fun and light like finger foods and snacks? Or aiming for something more like a sit-down dinner? Do you want to provide any alcoholic beverages or just stick with fizzy and light drinks? Remember to count in any children that your guests may bring and provide some suitable food for them.
Whether small or big, formal or informal, it's your engagement party. Celebrate the news together with people near and dear to your heart, and remember to have fun!
