Re: engagement party

I had always thought that was something that you and your FH would host but ours was actually a surprise that my MOH put together. It was really great that it was a surprise and we had no idea about it.

Re: engagement party

I don't know about traditionally since I NEVER do anything traditionally but my mom & stepfather hosted our e-party at their home. Alot of people brought things and it was great!!!

Re: engagement party

I am not sure if this is hte 'correct' thing to do, but my FH and I hosted our own, but we kept it small (40 guests, all family) and referred to it a family thing

His parents offered to host it, but we declined

Re: engagement party

Our e-party was just a bbq at my moms. Only about 25 people with mostly family and a few close friends. It was at the party that our families met for the first time. We had been together for 3 years.

Re: engagement party

yeah, if it were summer I am sure that FH parents would offer to have a BBQ at their house. Hmm I wonder what we could do this time of year without spending oodles of cash..
