So every little idea, that you can come up, will add to the event. This article will give you some engagement party suggestions.
Many parties have personalized gifts, that you can give out as favors. You can make these gifts in relation to the parties theme. Personalized gifts are intended to foster a stronger relationship, among friends of the engaged couple. You can easily add favors and gifts together. A favor, like a cup or glass, can be used after the party is long over.
Greet your guests, as they arrive. Have a banner with a hint of your party theme on it. Make sure that you have the couples first names on the banner. Use other items like balloons and flowers to spice up the entrance. However, you don’t want to over do it either. Too many decorations can take away from the main purpose, of the party.
Center pieces are also very important for decorations. Try to have something that accents, both the theme and the individuals announcing, their engagement. You might consider childhood photographs, of the two. You might consider a poster collage of pictures of the couple as they grew up. Place this close to the engagement cake or the refreshment bar. Another possibility, could be a slide show of the two.
When decorating, consider adding a few gag items. Things, like handcuffs, a ball and chain, rolling pin and an apron with the future husbands name on it, can add a little humor to your party. Other gag items could be diapers and baby items, for future use.
Adding to the theme, of the party, is music. Try to have music, that is theme sponsored. If you don’t have a theme, use music that the couple enjoys. All couples have a favorite song.
Eats and drinks. Cake decorating has no limits. Pick out something that is theme related. You might consider a heart shaped cake with the couples names on it. Food can resemble the theme, too. It is easy to have foods, that can do this for you. The same with drinks. You can easily find recipes, with or without a kick.
