Hello everyone! I have decided to host my own engagement party. I was wondering what you did for yours. What were your favorite games played? What was the most enjoyed game overrall? Did you use a theme? How did you decide to decorate?

    Just a heads up, hosting your own engagement party is not well liked on these  boards.  It is ettiquette that someone else hosts it for you, otherwise one is not needed at all.

    Just throw a party, not an E party. An E party is hosted by someone else. It is AW (attention whorish) and rude to throw your own.

    Engagement parties have games? Like spin the bottle? And 7 minutes in heaven? If you have pin the tail on the donkey, I am so there.
    I'm not good at feelings.

    Its your party, engagement or not. We are in 2011 people, and not every individual can be notified personally that a couple is engaged. Every E-party i have been to has been hosted by the couple. It may not be liked, but remember, it's your party, and your wedding. If they don't like it, they won't come.

    I agree with PP. I come from a different background so all these rules sound weird to me, but I have to say that I never heard of them in all my years in NYC. Anyways, I don't see anything wrong with a couple throwing a party for their engagement. Just as I don't see why someone else should throw a party for another couple. That's waht parents do for their children, when they are children. The way I see it, expecting someone to organize my engagement party is AWish, not the other way around.
    So, in your logic, it's not ok to host one's own birthday parties? 
    The wedding is in our "honour" and we "throw" it ourselves... my birthday parties are my "honour" and I take care of those too.
