Do we have to have an engagement party?
Our parents are insisting!
You aren’t required to have an engagement party, but
it isn’t a bad idea. Often it’s the perfect opportunity
to introduce parents and attendants to each other before the
wedding. And don’t think you’re doomed to a stuffy
cocktail party. Anything goes when it comes to engagement
parties—from backyard barbecues to clam bakes, so make
it as laid-back as you want.
