Engagement planning 101

So he pops the question and you simply can’t wait to break the good news to all your friends
and family members. It dawns on you that the best way to break the news would be to host an
engagement party, but where do you start with the planning process? As the bride-to-be, you
will find the party planning challenging in a positive way because it essentially prepares you for
the wedding planning process. This brief guide will walk you through the engagement party
planning process.

•

Set a date for the engagement party. The party can be that evening, the next day or
within the first three months after he pops the big question.

•

Create a list of people you want to attend the engagement announcement party. If
you choose to have the party within the same day as the actual engagement, you will
definitely want to invite people as early as possible. It is wise to keep it small and
intimate for an engagement party held on the same day as the actual engagement.
However, if you choose to have a party a few weeks after the actual engagement; go for
an equally grand party.

•

Choose the type of party you want to host; your engagement party could be a cocktail,

simple dinner or full-fledged grand party. Cocktails are the best choices for impromptu
parties, because they are simple to plan and require minimal budgetary requirements.

•

The venue is very important when it comes to the planning process. Consider hiring a
ballroom in the case of aw grand party, in order to get a sense of what you want for your
wedding reception.

Once you have everything set-up for your engagement party; hire a caterer, photographer and
send out the invitations out to invited guests.

Keeping it small

The engagement party does not have to be an expensive affair; you will definitely want to
save your money for the big day, and there are ways to have a grand party without denting
your pockets. One of the ways to minimize on cost is to go for a catering hall, proving
ballroom facilities and the services of a caterer. These establishments also offer the services of

professional planners, who will definitely come in handy when planning a grand engagement
party.
