Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

people normally just mingle, and talk to one another. Someone gives a toast/speech.. if you wanted to your could get a little card game going, they are fun and everyone gets talking

Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

are you going to have a dj - or music playing? i had a dj for mine ... but if you want no music - them maybe make everyone play a game by the married couples writing you and FH advice for a "healthy marraige" and make them put it anomously in a box - and then maybe someone can read them all out loud ...

It's on my things to do list this week --- to make a CD for music. No DJ. We didn't want to take too much out from our wedding budget for an engagement party! We have two floors and so, first floor will be loungy and the basement will be hip-hop dance music. But, we hope that the weather will be nice enough that we can have everyone in the backyard

when is your party?

Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

THIS SATURDAY

Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

let everyone mingle, I think that's what we're doing. Of course we were on the fence about having an e-party(my family is super supersitious) but we decided to have one @ FIL's home. We will make Cd's w/ music in the order we want it played, & allow for mingeling. However we're waiting til the spring, due to my work obligations....

PLease let me know how it goes.

Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

love your menu!! We're going to have a cupcake cake too,

Re: Need advice on what to do at e-party!

I would relax and not worry. Everyone will be talking and mingling. Everything will go smooth.
The only way I would introduce the wedding party to everyone is if there wouldn't be conflict
For Example (if there is someone that would have thought they would have been in it and isn't).
