Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service
P: (631) 587-8500
Did your significant other pop the question this past weekend? If so - congratulations! But now the planning really begins and first up, the engagement party. Typically held soon after a couple becomes engaged (when the news is still fresh), the engagement party is the kick off to the wedding-day countdown.
If you’ve found yourself in this position we’re here to help you get started:

Guest List - Generally speaking, those invited to the engagement party should also receive an invite to the wedding. If you aren’t sure of how large your wedding is going to be just yet, keep this guest list to people you are certain will attend the wedding, like immediate loved ones - close friends and family.
Location - Consider the atmosphere you’d like, a low-key gathering at home or something a bit more formal? You may choose to rent a room at your favorite restaurant, have a brunch at a nice catering hall, or keep things small and intimate at your parent’s house.
Gifts - Unlike a bridal shower or the wedding itself, gifts aren’t typically given at engagement parties. However, it’s not uncommon for some guests to inquire. If you’re accepting gifts this time around, create a registry with items in the low-mid price range - remember, the wedding is still to come! Otherwise, include a note on your invitations that you are not requesting gifts at this time.
Decor - Remember, you don't want to upstage the wedding! Keep things simple, choose decor that reflects you as a couple. You don’t need to match the same color or theme as your wedding day. If budget allows perhaps add some floral centerpieces to perk up the space or try your hand at DIY!
