An Engagement is an Excellent Reason to Party

By Dave G Thompson


Wedding attire and engagement rings are likely topics of conversation, so include notepads and pens for notes when you plan or host an engagement party. It is more of the chance to introduce the happy couple to family, acquaintances, and friends of the bride or groom. Assorted appetizers are one of the best party icebreakers, since there is something about snacks and comfort food that encourages people to be sociable. Encourage holding more than one type of event to accommodate the calendar of all who want to attend a congratulations event.

The engagement party is about good news more than a gift event. Friends and families enjoy offering a gift of some sort as a means of expressing their good wishes. Suggesting an appetizer in lieu of a gift is an ideal way for everyone to participate, since delectable munchies can range from chips and dip to caviar. Volunteering to be the secretary is a nice gift of time for any memorable event, Not everyone can afford a gift, but everyone can find some way of contributing to the overall success of the event, whether it is with food or entertainment.

One of the best icebreakers is a game or two. There are quite a few great ideas that are appropriate for all age levels. Creativity is often what makes a game entertaining and that delivers the popularity of one game. It involves making the ideal diamond rings for the wedding or shaping one to resemble favorite stones found in engagement rings. Guests can use safe flatware and the warmth of their hands to shape and design stylish diamond ice. Provide a small square ice cube and a waterproof flat surface to each contest participant. Tint the water before freezing it to create topaz, sapphire and ruby. Look at the jewellery online for ideas.

Karaoke is another fun event, and sound tracks for nearly any type of music are easy to find. Some will welcome the opportunity to show off their skill as a group. There is a bit of exhibitionist in all of us and delivering a popular song from the past will add enjoyment to the party. Knowing about others is harder than we think and a trivia game reveals the truth. After thinking of intriguing questions ask the happy pair about the answers and record them on paper for reference. Examples are the favorite subject for each in school, most selected snack and preferred beverage.

It is possible to order personalized party favors in small batches as well as large. Cute souvenirs are available at a very inexpensive price and are perfect ways to thank people for attending. When people are trying to remember the name of the bride or groom, the party favor serves as a gentle reminder. Sunshine sparkling through the crystal keychain displays the happiness of this event. A favorite gift for any guest is a tin commemorating the occasion and holding a small deck of playing cards.

An engagement is always special, and whether the engagement party is a grand affair or a barbecue, it is a great way to say congratulations. Always have more than enough party favors, foods, drinks and happiness. Honoring the couple cements the decision to get married.
