Tips For Throwing An Engagement Party

The Relationship Cure: A 5 Step Guide to Strengthening Your Marriage, Family, and Friendships

It used to be that a marriage proposal required only that the man ask the woman, and he sometimes did not even need to get a ring for her until later, but nowadays, things have changed in the way proposals are done, as the proposal itself has grown to a point where it seems like it is almost as big as the wedding! And if your child is the future bride or groom (or if the future bride or groom is one of your close friends), one thing you should realize is popular these days - and is also, in fact, a lot of fun - is throwing an engagement party for the couple, with close friends and family in attendance!

One thing that will be important is that you plan the engagement party for the night of the engagement itself, as this will enable you to catch the wave of excitement from the engagement itself; this also, however, means that you should not plan a big dinner - and should not plan anything else on a strict schedule - as there could be the need for slight changes in the schedule on the night of the proposal.

Either facebook or phone calls are great for inviting people to the party, but make sure that you have explicitly stated that the couple is not yet engaged, and that the party will be taking place on the night of the engagement, as this will prevent the secret from leaking early!

And even though having a set schedule for the engagement party will not be beneficial, it will be beneficial to have some things planned for the night - such as speeches from the parents of the bride and groom, or a photo booth, or a trivia game regarding the couple, or a combination of all of the above!

With these steps leading you as you plan your engagement party, the couple will not only be able to have a memorable engagement, but they will also be able to have a memorable party afterward that they can share with the people they are close to!
