My views on having an engagement party

February 20th 2009 06:06
Engagement parties are a great way to announce your engagement, but is it for everyone? With the current economic turmoil, adding an extra party to your wedding planning seems almost frivolous. But hey, different strokes go for different folks.

Some good things about having an engagement party:
1. It's a great opportunity for families to come together -- perhaps even meet for the first time.
2. It's a warm and wonderful way to share the news with people you love most.
3. Another great reason to parteh!

Why I'm not really into throwing an engagement party:
1. The money for the engagement party can be used for the wedding instead.
2. If you're particularly close to your friends and family, no need for a gathering to break the news.
3. You cut out on any surprise dramas that can occur from family members. Trust me on this one.

Perhaps a simple engagement party will do, but the logical side of me is winning. The money you spend on that party will be put to better use during the wedding, maybe even for a rehearsal dinner.

What are your thoughts on throwing an engagement party?
