    I voted no because it's rude and tacky to throw your own e party.

    You're going to tell her to throw  you a party?

    Unless the offer is made you shouldn't have one.  They're not required.

    No she's not. No one is required to throw you a party. You sound like an entitled brat.

    Anyone can throw it for you, not just your mom.  In fact, old etiqutte advises against your mom throwing engagement parties and showers because it seems gift grabby.  But the key is that someone needs to offer to throw these for you.  If your mom has offered, fantastic.  Have one.  I didn't have one (no one offered and we didn't want one anyway).

    If you would like your families to meet before thewedding, and they haven't yet, sure, have a dinner party.

    I think whether or not you ask your mom to throw you a party is entirely dependent on what kind of relationship you have with her. My mom is CLUELESS about these sorts of things, but she would have felt horrible if I'd wanted an engagement party and not told her; of course she wanted to throw one. My mom is my best friend through and through; as far as I'm concerned, we can say anything to one another. I'd never ask my dad to do the same because I'm not close with him (though admittedly the reason I wouldn't ask him would be more to do with my discomfort than some kind of rudeness factor).

    My engagment party was quite fun. My mom got to invite all the distant relatives I've barely met and have them over to her house. I was shocked they brought gifts. (I didn't even know people gave engagement gifts? Of course, all the gifts were dinnerware and we live 3000 miles away, so we're waiting to ship it and just storing (hoarding?) it at my mom's until we're married next year.)

    In short, do what you want! Ask your mom; don't ask your mom. Have the party; don't have the party. What are you really concerned about? My guess is you either want to have the party but are concerned about XYZ, or you don't want to have the party and are concerned about XYZ; I highly doubt you haven't decided what you want if you're asking about it on this board.

    Ok to the person who said I sound like brat, well you obvisouly dont know me, but thats your own oppion and no I dont want one either and I am not having one... I am just kind of clueless on this whole wedding thing, considering I have only been to like 2 of them my whole life... so I am just asking question to get feed back... so no one has to be rude because u sound like a B!
