Just Engaged and Proposals

Engagement Party

So I want to have an engagement party with family and friends and because the wedding is 2 years out, I think that it would be a great way to let everyone know of the engagement and to celebrate this exciting time.  The problem is that my family is in New Hampshire and his family is here in Illinois, so where do I have the engagement party?? This is a really difficult thing because we are also trying to figure out where to have the wedding, either in New Hampshire or in Illinois.  I think that it would be easier for me to plan if it was where I live in Illinois, but I love the fall foliage in New Hampshire.  Any help would be great girls!!

Re: Engagement Party

  • Etiquette says you should not throw your own engagement party- but if someone offers to throw one, obviously they dictate the location.  It would be fine to host a dinner party or something so your families and friends can all meet each other.  That sounds like it may be difficult to do with your families so far apart, though!  Good luck choosing a location!
  • The location of the engagement party is up to the person(s) hosting.  You don't give your own engagement party.Wait until someone offers
