  Are your in-laws hosting it? 

  
  

  No, you do not need to wear white unless you just want to. Wear whatever you feel good in. 

  
  

  I personally think that particular dress is much better suited to a bachelorette party than an engagement party with family in attendance. There's no way I'd wear that thing in front of FI's parents and grandparents.

  My daughter and FDIL both wore white to their engagement parties.  That dress is a little to "clubby" for my tastes.  It is pretty, but does not suit the occasion. Have you tried White House Black Market?

  I agree with PDKH and Lauderdale. I do not think that dress is appropriate for an engagement party, As far as wearing white, I personally find it annoying when the bride wears white to the wedding events other than the wedding. It seems cliche and forced to me. Look! I'm the bride and I'm wearing white! Yawn. 

  
  

  
  

  What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  @Addie, I never thought about it that way, you make a good point in an entertaining, non-judgemental way.  Hope to read more of your posts in the future.

  Well, there's like 8,000 of my past posts to choose from if you're looking to be entertained.

  I have to agree that the dress you posted is way to clubby for an e-party with the family.  I also get a little eye-ball rolly if the bride wears white to every pre-wedding event

  You don't have to wear white to every wedding-related occasion.
  
  I also agree that this particular dress seems too clubby for a family event.

  I personally am going to take every opportunity to wear my wedding colors to these types of events(grape and lavender) since I won't get to on the day-of.
