that i don't want to have an engagement party? or a shower? I'm just really laid back and hate being the center of attention...plus with planning a wedding, renovating a house and dealing w work and my parents, it all seems wayyyyyy too overwhelming for me.

i think whatever works for you is fine. no need to stress out planning additional parties if you don't want to.

Re: is it bad?
honestly we have so much going on and the thought of dealing w all that stuff gives me hives!
Today I'm spending all day dealing w drs and if I had ti have a party I'd be curled in a ball on the floor.
I;m sure his family will do something for us. If it's a BBQ or something, I could deal. I think it's the idea of the 2 families getting together etc. they're so different and I dunno...
Hmm this could be a good post.

not all. ME personally dont see the point, its more $$$$ to waste when i dont have that extra money! we went out for drinks that night we got engaged with some cousins and friends and the tab was almost 1,000. no way we are having an engagement party and then having to spend on a wedding.
then again my FH and I are covering our wedding expense 100%%%%% so maybe thats why to us an e-party is not important.

i dont think it's bad at all. i didn't have a traditional eparty, just asked everyone to join us in the city for some drinks.
i also dont want a shower... i rather just keep it simple.
so you're not alone!

nah...we already have a house and everything that goes in it really. Unless they wanna give me Home Depot gift cards, I'm good.
Honestly, I don't even know how I'm going to get through the wedding without passing out. LOL, someone send me some xanax!

it's not a bad thing at all. Lots of people don't do engagement parties and if you feel you would rather not have a shower, than that's perfectly fine!

I just told FH I didn't want either of them and he got really quiet and then said, 'ok Ames...don't worry about it. We'll talk about it later.'
Poor Anthony, he wants to have his moment in the spotlight and I'm freaking out over it. maybe he can go while I stay home! lol

Re: is it bad?
I totally feel the same way. I don't want an engagement party or a bridal shower. All of my friends think I am crazy, but my fiance and I already live together and have most of what we would need. The engagement party is definitely not happening. I am still trying to convince my sister not to throw a bridal shower, but who knows.

I don't think that it is bad. WE are not having an E- Party, and the bridal shower is going to be very small!! I am the same way I am not so great with being the center of attention.

It's not bad at all! I personally don't want either but my FH wants the e-party. You have to do what's right for the both of you : )

Nope not bad at all.. I didn't do one either but I was being lazy and just didn't feel like planning anything... IDK im not too sure about the shower though your bridal party will probably surprise you and throw one whether you want it or not
