Share the Joy with an Engagement Party

You’ve found your soul mate and you want the whole world to know. Invite friends and family to celebrate with you at an engagement party. If the wedding will be held in a distant location, engagement parties give you a chance to introduce your fiancée to people who might not be able to attend the nuptials.

An engagement celebration can be an intimate gathering for cocktails or a larger dinner party. No matter how big or small the party, it’s nice to remember your guests with engagement party favors.

Personalized party favors are especially appropriate for engagement parties. Personalized tins of mints, candy bars or bags of gourmet coffee are thoughtful gifts and can also be save-the-date reminders. Order personalized favors from an online party store or make your own custom candy wrappers using templates that can also be found online.

Here is some suggested wording for a personalized engagement favor:

Thanks for being part of our lives.
We look forward to having you join us at our wedding September 17th.
-Jen and Gary

Announcing Our Engagement and Looking Forward to Forever
- Gary and Jen
Wedding September 17th, Chicago, Illinois

Other options for personalized favors include seed packets, candles or candleholders, tea bags and soaps.

Tokens of Love

For small engagement parties, share a token of your love with each party guest. Choose coasters or engraved rocks that say “love.” Silver-plated heart paperweights, picture frames and wine bottle stoppers make elegant party favors.

An engagement is a perfect time to tell your story as a couple. People will be interested in how you met and how you fell in love. Create a story-telling environment by decorating for the party with lots of pictures of the bride and groom. Make a video or iMovie that tells your love story, or ask a friend to do a short, live interview with each of you. Follow the movie or story with an engagement trivia game.
