Engagement Party
The purpose of an engagement gala -- usually scheduled no later than three months after the big announcement -- can be threefold: to share the new of the couples' imminent union with future wedding guests, to introduce the families to each other, and to celebrate the impending, well, celebration.
Should You Have anEngagement Party?
Engagement parties can be a fun way to announce and celebrate your engagement, but not everyone has one.
Pros:
Engagement parties allow you to announce your engagement to your nearest and dearest friends and family in a fun way.
They're a great way for your families and friends to get to know each other
Hey, any excuse to have a party with people you love, right?
Cons:
Having an engagement party forces you to have a sense of your wedding guest list early, as you shouldn't invite anyone who won't be invited to the wedding.
It is an extra event to plan for and PAY for, or to have someone else plan and pay for
If you don't have a particularly long engagement (6 months or less) it may seem awkward to have another party so close to your wedding.
