An elegant engagement party should focus on a tasteful color combination, at times with colors that complement the wedding colors. Consider gently contrasting colors such as gold and cream or silver and white. Other colors may focus more on romance such as variations of red, pink and white.
Basics

A simple, solid color tablecloth will suffice. You may also opt to add additional elegance to the table using a decorative table overlay. Overlays come in a variety of patterns, colors and materials. For a more elaborate touch, consider covering the chairs with a similar color cloth that ties behind the chair with a gold or silver rope.

Centerpiece

There are many creative centerpiece ideas for engagement parties. These include floating candles in a glass bowl, simple rose arrangements, confetti-filled balloons and small cupcake arrangements that resemble wedding cakes.
Accents

Accent the table with confetti, small plastic engagement rings, plastic diamonds and gold glitter. Votive candles typically make good accents to surround the table centerpieces, add ambiance and at times provide a light source for evening engagement parties.

Depending on the food served, plates can be decorated with white sugar crystals to represent glittering diamonds. Silverware can be wrapped with a small, fake flower attached to wire. For served meals, the dinnerware can be set on the table, which adds to the table decor. You may rent fancy dinnerware with specialty patterns to coordinate with the theme or color scheme of the engagement party.
