You and your love are at the final step before getting married-the engagement.
Are you ready to celebrate your good news with family and friends? Set up your engagement party and make it as meaningful and enchanting as possible with these engagement party ideas.
An engagement party can be an intimate event among the couple's families or a large gathering of friends and a chance for those dear to both sides to get to know each other better.
Sometimes it can seem intimidating to have a party thrown for you but it's great practice for being the center of attention at your wedding and other events over the coming months and it's a nice way to let others share your joy.
It's all about the Day When choosing the day for your engagement, make sure that it is a time where everyone or at least most of your guests will be able to come.
As much as possible, do not schedule during working weekdays unless they are all agreeable to it.
It is much better to celebrate during weekends or along with a special holiday where everyone is free from work and can enjoy the affair without hassles and the rush.
