My wedding is not until June 2011. Since it is over 2 years away, I was thinking of having an engagement party since it is infact so far away. I am getting all of this criticism & can't take it..1st I was told that it looks like we're asking for money!..then I was told that its going to cost alot of money & we should just put it towards the wedding..my whole thing is why can I go to everyone else's give a gift & be fine with it but I am not supposed to have one?? Im so aggravated! ...bottom line..is it worth it to try to have a low budget eng party like a BBQ or something or is it not even worth it..HELP! haha

Re: Should I have an Engagement Party?? or not
We did a BBQ. We said no gifts or $. Some gave us gifts or $ and some didnt. It was fun and cheap.

I would say that if you want one - go for it! FH and I are having a casual BBQ this June... Plus its an excuse to have a party and get everyone together! I do not think that having an E-Party is asking for money/gifts, at all. We are having our so both of our families can meet before the wedding - because other than our parents meeting (and getting along really well!), the rest of the families havent met....

You should totally have one. I read somewhere that when your wedding is over a year away, then a e-party is expected! Plus this is a celebration, not a charity event. People should give you gifts if they can. If they can't, no big deal.
