If you are looking for a more casual engagement party, try hosting it at a park or other outdoor locale. An outdoor setting will be a fun environment to bring all of your family and friends together, while providing a beautiful, natural and enjoyable backdrop to your event. You can blast tunes all day long and relaxing with loved ones. Also consider a backyard BBQ or pool party. Give your engagement party a luau theme to go with this backyard bash. These more traditional parties are a great way to celebrate your engagement on a budget, while still with incorporating your personal style. If you want expert advice on how to make your at-home event look and feel more spectacular, consider making a small investment in a professional event planner who can polish off the event theme, decor, music, food and more while keeping your interests, budget and goals in mind.
No matter which direction you choose, the party should be a reflection of your budding relationship, your pending wedding celebration and the merger of your families. Share your engagement party photos and stories with us on Facebook or Twitter!
