Engagement Party
Hi Everyone! I just booked my wedding for May 2007 at Lands End. I am so excited! So now that hard part is over, I figured I would back track a little. Is everyone having an engagement party? I feel like I hear more and more that people are not having the engagement party so I am just curious to what everyone is doing.
Congratulations 2007 Brides!!

Re: Engagement Party
i had one - it was Sunday
It really depends on you and your FH - and both families. Originally, me and FH didnt want one ... but then after talking to our parents, they both told us to have one .. just so we could have a head start on gifts ... and my mom didnt feel it was right if I didnt have one, since my sister and brother had one after they were engaged.

Re: Engagement Party
FH & I decided not to have one because we feel like it would be too much of a strain (financially) on my parents. they're contributing about 30% to this wedding so i didn't want to add the expense of an engagement party as well.

Re: Engagement Party
I'm getting married 12/29/07 and we had our engagement party this January (we got engaged in November) It was a lot of fun- we rented a hall and our parents cooked everything. It was so much fun!!

Re: Engagement Party
Not doign one... didn't want to appear greedy for gifts as I will be receiving gifts at my shower and my wedding. FH and I want to throw a little something with us, our BP and friends once the weather gets a little nicer... and let them know they dont have to bring gifts.

Re: Engagement Party
Yeah, another date twin!!
I'm definitely thinking we are going to have a small, casual engagement party when the weather gets nice. Probably at our house.
It will be nice for some of our family to meet other than just at the wedding.
Oh and the extra gifts definitely don't hurt. I don't mind a bit if people think we are beggin for more gifts!!!

Re: Engagement Party
We're prob. going to have one this summer, because my mom really wants to us to. Neither of my sisters did because their engagements were about a year long. We're more like a year and a half, and my mom wants us to have one this summer. I'm looking forward to having everyone together!
Congrats on booking Lands End. I went looking there, its beautiful. I'm also a Lovin Oven bride!

Re: Engagement Party
We are having one - but the date isn't set yet. My sister is in the process of moving back to the island (sometime the end of June) and since she is my MOH, I wont have it without her - so we are doing it the second weekend in July I think...Unless she can come down sooner - but I highly doubt that one...
And ours is just a backyard BBQ type thing at my Aunts house who graciously offered to have it there =o)
