Sad Review/Our E-Party

Hey Girls! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. This Sunday was our engagement party and I just needed to vent to somebody who might understand my disappointment.

First of all we rented a church basement for a few reasons. My fiance has 12 brothers and sisters and I have a bunch of little cousins and most of them don't even eat so paying per plate is really not worth it. My grandma wanted to cater my party and threatened that she wouldn't come if she didn't. And, I also wanted to decorate from top to bottom. Personalize everything, you know?

Anyway, my fiance's friend was our DJ and while he got all the music I told him too. I was so disappointed in him. He does this on the side and I really should have hired someone else to do it for us. I went home after the party and just cried and I so down about it.

This party took me so long to plan and so much work and I just don't feel satisfied. My fiance told me to calm down that everyone had a good time but I know they all didn't. Ugggghhhh....I am so upset about it.

In a way I am glad it is over but in another way I wish I still had time to change some things. No one understands this feeling like I am sure some of you do. I guess I should just be grateful in the end that we even had the chance to have one and that the people most important to us were there but I am just sooooooo disappointed.

Thanks for listening. I will post pics as soon as I get them scanned.

Oh no! I am so sorry!!!

What exactly are you upset about? The DJ?

The DJ and just how I feel no one really had a good time.

AND GET THIS GIRLS.....One of our GM brought his new girlfriend to the party. The two of them came in jeans and were practically humping. They didn't sit at the table they were supposed to and they went and made themselves comfortable next to the DJ and possibly distracted him?????????
The left my poor friend Mildred all alone at a table with her date.
It is just a combination of a few things.

I am so sorry!!! It is hard to plan so much and then be disappointed. There are many more happy times to come to make up for it.

Wow sorry to hear that, our EParty was no great plan, FH and I cooked and everyone ate buffet style we had immediate family and few close friends at the house we were both in jeans we had a great and stress free afternoon no dj cd's of our wedding music samples from our dj everyone loved the cd's...i only wish people would have gone home on time party was 4p-10p you know people did not leave until 1am but hey you have your shower, bachelorette parties and wedding to look forward to...remember who these celebrations are for, nothing else or no one else is as important

Hon, Im so sorry!! I can understand your frustration, but dont let it bum you out. Im sure everyone had a nice time, and everyone is looking forward to your big day. Let's try to put this behind you and start planning for the wedding. I wish there were more I could say to make you feel better!!

I'm sorry...just be happy it was the e-party and not the wedding.

Sorry to hear that you were disappointed. Are you using the same DJ for your wedding? Or thinking about it? Now you know better how to decide when you looking for that vendor as well. I went to a wedding about 4 years ago where you are getting married. I might have the pictures somewhere. I'd try and look. And as long as you were together with your FH on your engagement, I think the rest does not matter.

I thin kit always seems worse to those hosting the party than to the guests. You want everything to be perfect and you do notice the little things. But please know that you are hardest on yourself - I'm pretty sure that your guests didn't notice a thing. They had a great time at a great party! You learn something with each event so take that with you when planning the next. So long as you do that then there is nothing to worry about. If you make the same mistakes time after time then that's a problem. I can't imagine YOU having a bad party - so don't worry - focus on the good.

'We are our worst critic'

Everyone I have spoken to said they had a good time....I am seriously disappointed in the humping couple and the DJ but what can I do....I am getting the wedding planning started as of today and I am not settling anymore!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all of your kind words. I knew you would all understand!

Im sorry

Oh I am so sorry!

I really cant see how everyone could possibly have a bad time being that they are your friends and family. As far as the 'lovey dovey' couple, that is NOT cool but dont let it ruin your memories of the party. I bet when you look back on the pics you see alot of big smiles.

Don't feel bad.....people are so hard to please. I am sure it was not that bad.

Cheer up, not everyone gets to have an engagement party!!!!

All I can say is that I'm sorry you are so sad!

I think sometimes we are our worst critics .. and I'm sure that you noticed a lot of things that the rest of your guests didn't even see going on .. I'm guessing that most people probably had a GREAT time, but I can understnad how upset you might feel

try not to dwell on it, and just try to move past this .. You are ENGAGED to be married, and that's really the most important thing !! The fact that the party might have had a few glitches is secondary. Trust me when I say that people will not remember anything, and neither should you!

I'm sorry to hear that you are sad. As another poster said, its better that it was the eparty and not the wedding -- now you can make some changes to avoid this at the wedding

Don't worry -- I'm sure that it turned out better than you think and people enjoyed themselves


We are our own worst critics

So sorry it didn't go as planned!
