An engagement party announces to all loved ones that soon the bride and groom will begin the rest of their lives together. Around the corner is the big wedding day, and the engagement party is the first initial announcement and celebration of the soon-to-be life union.
Engagement parties deserve personalized touches to make the announcement unforgettable and in sync with the couple’s tastes. Luckily, the possibilities are endless. Let’s take a closer look!
5 Engagement Party Ideas
The first step to feeling confident about your engagement party is getting inspired. Honoring your relationship milestone in a way that feels true to both the soon-to-be bride and groom sets the tone for the wedding day.
1. Hire a Professional Chef
If you and all your friends are foodies, what better way to announce your engagement than by treating all your guests to high-quality food? Consider upgrading your culinary tastes by hiring a professional chef.
There’s nothing like mouth-watering food, savoring every bite, and relishing in delicious drinks. Celebrate by getting to know your chef and their specialties, and including the menu in your engagement party invitations.
2. Include Humor with Meme Culture
Young couples nowadays have grown up with meme culture. If you’re on the humorous side and want to bring in the energies of play and silliness to your announcement, gather your favorite memes. Host your engagement party at a venue that has a projector so you can easily present a slideshow while sharing fun stories about what each meme means to you with guests.
There’s no limit to this idea. You can even invite guests to come dressed as their favorite meme. Plus, consider decorating the venue with art that reflects pop culture. The point is to get creative and use humor as a means of spreading joy.
3. Travel Inspired Engagement Party Theme
For couples who are always planning their next trip, or desire to travel a bunch throughout their marriage, having a travel-inspired party theme plants the seed for a lot of future travel. Ignite your wanderlust’s explorative nature by including it in your party. For example, your party invitations and guestbook can be passport-inspired!
4. Love at First Swipe
This one’s for all the couples who met on one of those increasingly popular dating apps. Celebrate your engagement by making it a “Love at First Swipe” themed engagement party. In the case of a match on Bumble, it would be fitting to integrate a bee-themed ambiance.
For those who connected on Tinder, the use of red decorations would be highly appropriate. Lastly, if it was through Hinge, the venue should be adorned with purple flowers and decor. You can also incorporate digital elements into the party invitations and decorations.
5. Royal Engagement
Who says only princesses and princes can celebrate royally? Channel your inner king and queen by hosting a royal engagement party. Choose decor with crown, diamond, gold, and royal blue motifs.
Invite them to dress in fancy gowns and allow your mind to take you far with planning your royal engagement. There are no limits!
2 Engagement Party Games
Is an engagement party a celebration without games? Read through these and see if you’d like to implement any with your friends and families.
1. Ring Hunt
Prior to the event, conceal a collection of rings, which may be made of plastic or toy replicas, throughout the venue or designated party area. Encourage your guests to search for these rings during the evening, and award a prize to the individual who discovers the highest quantity.
2. Memory Lane
Guests can participate in a game where they write down memories they have with the couple. These memories are then read aloud, and the couple will attempt to guess which guest wrote each memory. This activity can be turned into a friendly competition between the couple and the guests.
If the couple correctly guesses the guest behind a memory, they earn a point. If they are unable to guess, the guests receive a point. To keep the game light-hearted, consider choosing memories that are not too obscure. It’s a delightful way to reminisce and take a stroll down memory lane.
