Things You'll Need:
- Romantic Decorations
- Microphones
- Champagne
- Appetizers
- Several Different Decadent Desserts
- Poster Boards
- Heart-shaped Mylar Balloons
-
Step 1
Create unique party invitations with a fun or silly picture of the couple on the front.
-
Step 2
Go overboard on decorations. Things that might be tacky or over-the-top at a wedding might be perfect for the engagement party. Think heart-shaped Mylar balloons and plastic silver champagne glasses.
-
Step 3
Find a good picture of the couple. Either frame it or have it blown up to poster size at Kinko's and hang it in a prominent place.
-
Step 4
Serve food that is fun, romantic and easy to eat and serve. Ask your caterer for tasty finger foods and appetizers and several decadent deserts. Also make sure you have plenty of champagne as well as some fun "themed" drinks (see "How to Make a Love Cocktail").
-
Step 5
Set up a microphone in a prominent location so that, as the evening progresses, people can make toasts to the happy couple.
-
Step 6
Buy two large white sheets of poster board. Write "Wedding Advice From the Women" across the top of one and "Wedding Advice From the Men" on the other in heavy, dark marker. Attach a pen to each and encourage guests to leave notes about things they learned while planning their own weddings.
-
Step 7
Give these two sheets to the couple when the party ends.

on 4/12/2008 Make a poster of photos of him when he was single and growing up. Then make one for her. Then make one of them since they met and got engaged.

on 10/1/2007 A very good game to play is how well do you know your mate. Select 3 to 4 couples to participate and ask them questions that they should know. Such as what is your mates favorite color.
