Hello CC.....First, welcome to the site and second, do not let anyone put pressure on you....take your time and plan a party if you desire one and also take into consideration your budget...unless they are helping you pay for this party take your time.

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: HAPPILY JUST ENGAGED!!!!

Welcome to the boards Cece5. This is a wonderful site, with lots of resourceful ladies. Congratulations on your engagement. The engagement party (if you should chose to have one) is truly up to you. As Charly stated, don't allow anyone to put any pressure on you. Take your time, decide what you want, how much money you want to spend, the type of party, whether formal/informal. It is truly up to you. In any event I wish you all the best!

Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Re: HAPPILY JUST ENGAGED!!!!

Congrats cece5! Start planning now and have it about a month after the engagement. It is used to announce your engagement as well as celebrate it. It would behove you to also have a concrete wedding date at that time as well. No one will take the engagement seriously otherwise! Don't make it a big production either. Save all that for your wedding and reception. lol

Re: HAPPILY JUST ENGAGED!!!!

Yeah Rosey is so correct...can you imagine splurgging on the engagement party and then stress on because of lack of funds for the wedding....take your time honey and try to get as much help from family...maybe have a bbq in the back of parents (yours or his) yard.

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.

Re: HAPPILY JUST ENGAGED!!!!

Congratulations Cece and welcome! You have truly come to the right place for guidance and ideas about your upcoming wedding. I have found it to be the best thing since "sliced bread". (lol) At any rate, take your time to plan carefully with input from your FH of course. As for an engagement party, it's a great idea. My FH's parents are having one for us on tomorrow night and that's a blessing because that's one expense we don't have to incur. We will try and put pictures on our wedding website after the party for you and all the vibrides crew to see. Oh check out our site at rashandaanddemarco.weddings.com and please sign the gusest book. Once again congrats and may God bless you and your FH as you plan your big day and lives together.

I am excited like Rosey to see the pictures but let me tell you now I am worst than children...never promise me anything and don't keep your promise....not a good thing to do!...please post the pictures. Thanks

Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
