Engagement Party

We are having about 150 people at our wedding, we still have not yet booked our reception hall, but my mom wants to plan us an engagement party. How many people should be invited to the engagement party?

we had 74 at mine but i refused to have it in a hall so we had a dinner in a restaurant. i'm having about 150 also... we invited all family (aunts,uncles, cousins) and only one table of friends.

We invited just family and the BP. We had 120ish. But, we'll have about 275 at the wedding.

I think Eparties can be small intimate affairs with just family and the BP. Problem is, I have a HUGE Italian family, so that was as intimate as we could get! Holiday dinners are usually at least 40 people!

We had over 110 people at our eparty. You can have one with just family and close friends.

We had around 65 at ours. We didn't want anything crazy so we did a sunday brunch at a restaurant. We are inviting 160 to the wedding.

we had 50 at ours. we only invited our closest family & friends. You don't have to invite everyone on your wedding guest list to your e-party.

Thanks for your help. For us it gets a little hard, because I have more friends than family and he has a large family and alot of friends. So I think the hardest part will be for him to narrow down what friends and family to include.

I had about 70 close family and friends at a restaurant. I didn't want to get a big place.

there were about 80 ppl in all. my FMIL invited everyone on her side of the list (her friends and her family), and just my immediate family and my parents' siblings. None of our (FH and I) friends. it was very nice but it would have been nicer if we had a say in the guest list.

we are having about 275-300 for wedding and had 150 for e-party...we invited bp, other close friends and our families and close family friends. Fh's family alone was between 70-80 of the guests and we only invited 1st cousins, no 2nd cousins and closer family members
