So you have decided to throw an engagement party? Great for you, because this event is the official start to your wedding countdown, and also a way of letting everyone know that the wedding is close, and they are all invited. Usually the persons, who are invited to your engagement party, would also take part to the weeding, so make sure that you do not forget to include anyone on your list. There are some essential aspects you have to agree upon, before organising the party, because you have to be sure that both of you would enjoy it. So make sure that you both agree on the host, because in the majority of cases, the bride’s family are the ones who throw the party, but this does not mean that you cannot choose another location. Moreover, if one of you wants to offer personalised love hearts, make sure to ask the other’s opinion also, because you have to be sure that you both like this option. Here are some essentials you should not miss from view when organising an engagement party.

What centrepieces and decorations you would use?

The majority of couples choose to organise their engagement based on a theme, which reflects they as a couple, but this does not mean that you cannot choose something else. The purpose of this event is to celebrate your engagement, so make sure that the centrepieces and decorations would have a personal touch, and you do not go overboard.

Choose a menu

Many persons would attend your event, so make sure that when you choose a menu, you ask them about food allergies, because you should avoid any health issues. It does not matter if you organise the party at the restaurant or at your home, you should check every one of the dishes and see what they contain, because you have to be sure that they would not cause allergies to your guests.

Make a shopping list

You have to make a list with the things you have to buy in time, because you have to know from the beginning what the required budget for the event is. Also, in case you want to offer your guests some personalised gifts, you have to order them in time from an online store, because they might have to personalise them, according to your wish, and this might take time. In addition, you have to be sure that the things you order would arrive in time, and you do not skip from view any one of them.
