Engagement party, yay or nay??

Of course have one! its a great way to get everyone together to celebrate your love!

I say go for it! and if people ask why now after 2 years say why not!! Plus bc your date is still some time away it will give you some excitement in the planning part.

I mean, I doubt anybody is going to turn down a party.... lol

I didn't have one because we didn't do it right away and then didn't feel like it was "okay" to have one, but I would say that if it's a year before the wedding then it's all good. Which if your wedding is Oct. 2022 - I say go for it!

I think that considering your wedding is still far off, you could still have an engagement party.

HI Samantha,

Personally, I would say go for it. No harm can come from it. Only good intentions. With that being said, Myself and my spouse have been together seven years. I am a wondering the same thing. Should I have an engagement party?

Honestly we didn't have one! Too many expenses already we didn't want to add this too. 2 of our friends got engaged about a week after us so we went out for a group dinner and that was kinda it I guess? Nothing official but we went to celebrate the 2 couples and it was perfect! Everyone paid for their own dinner and it was nice and easy!

I think since your wedding is so far away, it would be ok to have the engagement party. It's about half-way through your engagement so it'll get people geared up and excited for the wedding. My engagement is 2 years and I had my engagement party just over a year.

You can have your Mom, sister, and FMIL put together a engagement party for you and your fiancé. There is still time since its not so close to the date. Though you feel you two want to be celebrated, go for it. Feel you don't need to celebrate the engagement, don't have to force yourself to go through it.

I'm really torn on this one! Part of me feels that you are right, it's been too long now... but on the other hand, your wedding is over three years away, so it's not like you're having the E party today and the wedding tomorrow - wedding invitations haven't gone out yet...

If you want one and your sister really wants to throw one for you, I'd probably lean slightly towards saying go for it, given how far away the wedding is I'd be curious to see what the other gals think though!
