    Nope.  And you don't throw an enagement party if someone asks to throw you one you can accept or reject the invitation but its not required. 
    Image and video hosting by TinyPic Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.

    As PP said you do not give yourself your own e-party. You can host a get together for the parents or families if they haven't met yet. A get together is not to be confused with an e-party.

    If someone offers to host an e-party for you that is great. You can then either accept or decline the offer. Also do not ask for someone to host an e-party for you.

    Nope. They aren't required, and it's considered tacky to throw yourself one. I have seen ONE instance where it was acceptable, and that's because the bride and groom were in from Alaska and it was more of a "hey lets get together so we can see everyone before we go back" type of thing, not an official e-party.

    Not caring about missing RSVPs because there aren't any rocks!

    I'm throwing my own engagement party! I think we're having about 50 people and it's going to be a lot of fun!  My family, friends, and co-workers are all super excited.  I don't think it's tacky at all to throw your own.  I would never expect anyone to pay for that.  We're having it at the house, and most people have offered to bring something (side dish, desert, wine, whatever).
