Budget: Determine how much you are willing to spend on the party and allocate funds accordingly.
Guest List: Make a list of who you want to invite and ensure you have the space to accommodate everyone both seated and standing.
Date and Time: Choose a date and time that works for the majority of the guests and the couple, especially if there are people traveling or have children to organise babysitters for IF it’s an adults-only soiree.
Venue: Choose a venue that is suitable for the number of guests and the type of party you want to have - casual, cocktail, etc.
Food and Drinks: Decide on what kind of food and drinks you will serve and make arrangements for catering or self-preparation.
With the right planning, an engagement party can be an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
