If you have been/are engaged did you have an engagement party? Did you have a diso?
I dont quite know what the point in them is? I only know one person who has had an engagement party. I would like one, but is it just an excuise to have a party?

:yes:
But there are sillier excuses for a party.
As long as you're not expecting presents, don't see why anyone should have a problem with it?
I don't think I would have one, I would probably just have a meal with mine and his family
I wont be expecting pressies, I do like the idea of a party - all our family, having a good time etc. I dunno, got to think of the place to have it aswell, I know someone who had one at a bar and it was quite boring, no music. I'd like a disco but is a dico abit OTT?!
I thought about maybe having it in a pub or a comunity centre?
Urghhhh, I dont no!?:eek:
You're only engaged once (hopefully) so there's no harm in it really.
I'd like an engagement party when I get engaged, it'd be a classy affair with a swing/jazz band, canapes and champagne and adults only, not a kids disco with ham sandwiches haha.
Was quite nice, though, got everyone together (well not everyone but near as dammit) got our gladrags on and shared our happy news. Was very sweet because most people didn't know, it was the announcement aspect of it that I liked. I had already made the pregnancy announcement at that point so people had probably put 2 and 2 together but nevermind.
Hmm, what else? Couldn't get drunk as was pregnant at the time, which meant I had to listen - stone cold sober - to all the heartfelt and rambling congratulations and "eeh, well I never"s. Who knew people being happy for you could be so... time-consuming? In seriousness, it was a lovely thing, and since we had such a private, intimate wedding ceremony it was the right thing to do in retrospect.
MARRY ME LISA
Then I'll dump you.
Hahah dump.
