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.
