Engagement party! Need help!

View quoted message Yea I just want it to be causal. My parents want to get to now his more and they are very opposite but in relaxing setting should be fine

View quoted message That sound like fun! That’s a really nice relaxed engagement party and it’ll make it easy for you and your FH to go around and say hi to everyone. I’m leaning towards a nice bbq myself for my party because I think it would be a lot of fun to have everyone there.

View quoted message Yea I’m hoping it’s just a 1-4 think was gonna put it in invites. We just wanted something simple to celebrate with friends and family

I’ve never been to one but I don’t think there are any expectations. I think it’s just an excuse to celebrate! So, food is a good idea.Make it you. If you like organized sports, plan a big soccer, ultimate etc game. If you like yard games, have yard games available.

I've seen these go from very simple to very extravagant so I think it's totally up to you!!! A backyard bbq sounds like a great way to celebrate to me! Maybe see how many people would want to camp out overnight but to me that would seem more like a wedding day idea! People usually go home after an engagement party, usually don't go as hard!
Someone I wok with rent a venue and had a seating chart and was super fancy! And then my FH and me didn't even have an official one haha! Just celebrated with people whrn the chances opened!
