Pre-wedding Parties

engagement party help!

me and my bf want a small wedding but we have tons of extended family we are close to and also friends. so should we have an engagement party or a bridal shower with our family and friends and make it a fun cookout or something fit for men and women or should we skip it all together. just being curious.

    Nope.

    1) You should never host an engagement party or shower for yourself.

    2) Anyone invited to a pre-wedding party must be invited to the wedding. 

    3) When you decide you want an intimate wedding that also means you give large pre-wedding gatherings.

    I say do what you want... throw party after party after party to celebrate it! People will come and enjoy if they are invited to the wedding or not and it doesn't matter who throws it for you... that is just me

    Yup.  It's just you.   This is bad advice and goes against appropriate decorum.
