You are overlooking the fact that Martha Stewart has a giant weiner in her hands.

I'm sorry that your engagement was not received well by your family.  But having a party to celebrate your engagement three years after the fact is way too late.  You can throw a get-together with both families and not mention your engagement.  It will still allow a chance for everyone to bond.

I'm late to this but ditto those who say you can't appropriately throw your own engagement party.  It's in poor taste to throw any party in honor of yourself regardless of whether or not presents are involved.If you want to throw a get together, just throw a get together.  There's no need to name it.  Call it a picnic, dinner party, or whatever.  Just don't call it anything having to do with being engaged.

I find it funny that Supernova is so against the engagement party because you have been engaged for 3 years, yet she is having a wedding even though she has been married, what 5 years?

Engagement parties are hosted by someone other then the couple themselves and are held in teh first 3 months of engagement. 3 years later it is just silly Honestly a 5 year enegament is not really an engagement it is so long.  So I am certain that in teh middle of your ancient 5 years of engagement nobody cares one iota about what you said 3 years ago and might or might not do in 2 years. An engagement party for a 3 years of engagement for a wedding not occuring for another 2 years would have me thiking that the couple broke up and I was unaware or that they were actually not getting married but just wanted more attention

[i] However, I honestly don't see the faux pas in hosting a get-together in honor of my own engagement if I'm just throwing a party for everyone to have a good time at.[/i] It's poor etiquette to host parties in your own honor and looks incredibly gift grabby, especially after you have already been engaged for 3 years. Ridiculous.

I think it's riduclous and AWish to me. It's almost like you want to re-kindle the spark of your engagement so everyone will get all excited again.

[i]Is this appropriate, considering that everyone already knows we're engaged and it is no longer new and exciting news to anyone?[/i] No, it's not appropriate. You are getting pissssy because people are not tell you "SQQUEEEEEEEEEEE, do it!!!"

I don't see anything wrong with what you are doing, Supernova. I am surprised that you are SO against what the OP is considering, when it seems similar to your situation.

iugurl101

Yeah, that is true. I see your point.
