Engagement Party

My engagement party is next Saturday, June 16th. Just wanted to share because I am so nervous! It will be the first time that our families meet each other (and only my third time meeting FI's family due to the fact that they live in a different state). It will also be when I ask my bridesmaids to be in the wedding as well as their first times meeting each other. Well, kinda. Four of them know each other, and three of them know each other, but those four do not know those three, if that makes any sense. Anyway, it's going to be at Damons restaurant in their private room. But I'm so nervous. I just want everyone to like each other and get along. Also, I don't really know what to expect. Thanks for listening ladies!

    It sounds like it will be a lot of fun! I bet people will get along and you will probably be pleasantly surprised. I don't think you can help but be nervous though. I know I'm nervous for mine which is at the end of the month. Our families have met but it will be a little uncomfortable since my family is very liberal and his family is conservative and very religious. I'm always worried that one side or the other will get offended. 
    Good luck though and I'm sure it will be great!
  • ALL I HEARD WAS THAT YOUR PARTY IS SET TO GO AND YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE NERVOUS WHICH IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.
    ME N MY FIANCE ARE PLANNING OUR E-PARTY AND WE HAVENT GOT DONE WITH HALF OF THE THINGS. I GUESS IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE DO IT FOR US BUT NO ONE OFFERED AND MY MOM IS A SINGLE PARENT SO I CANT ASK FOR MUCH. 
    AS FOR YOU, GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS IN THE FUTURE

    Don't ask your bridal party this far in advance, you have over two years until your wedding, and a lot can change in that time.  The Etiquette and Bridal Party boards are chock full of brides asking how to un-ask members of the bridal party because they asked them too early and things changed, which you can't do unless they do something especially bad (i.e. try to sleep with your fiance).

    Ours was similar, our families were meeting for the second time, and they are very different. Everyone had a wonderful time though, so that's been very encouraging for how it will go at the wedding.

    And mapinky, you really shouldn't plan your own engagement party, much like showers and bachelorette parties, if no one offers, you don't have one.
  • It's still too early to ask your wedding party, just like you were told before, OP. Especially with the issues you were having choosing.
