Hello everyone. I'm new and have recently been engaged about a month ago. We finally set a date for the wedding for May 25, 2008 and for the engagement party November 25, 2006. I'm just curious to know if anyone has had or plans on having an engagement party and how the planning went.

Hello and welcome Bridezilla.I am planning to have a small cocktail party at my Mum's after the rehersal.Just a place where the bridal party can meet before the big day.This is the only party we will be having.This might not help,but I know quite a few people on this site have had engagement parties or are planning them and will be able to help.
I did/will not be having an engagement party.
Bridezilla you cannot get married on May 25, 2008. That is my day. Just kidding. Your engagement party can be whatever you want to have. See if someone is willing to host one for you. I may not have one b/c that would cut into my budget. Good luck.

I did not op to have engagement party for two reasons. First because I have been living with my fh for several years and we two children, so I didnt see a need. Secondly I just think it is a waste of time my and money. I am trying to make my wedding the fairytale wedding I always dreamed so having a engagement party would have cut into my budget.

I thought it'll be a great way for our families to come together and meet and interact. As of now, we're thinking of a dinner party and so far we have 75 people on our list (we both have big families). And that's just the ones in the area. Budget wise, money is not really an issue and we have about 20 months to save for this wedding. Thanks for the input everyone! I really do appreciate it. And if anyone has had one or plans to, please feel free to post your ideas! Thanks again!
Welcome! Love your name "Bridezilla"! Are you really a bridezilla? LOL!!! I didn't have an engagement party.

Bridezilla,
Actually my FH and I just had our engagement party on 9/30/06. Our wedding is 9/22/07. It was actually thrown by my MOH, she did everything by herself. She just got our input on a few things. It was nice. Just something informal for the WP to meet and for other members of our families to hang out. We really enjoyed it.
Thanks everyone! And yeah my fiance and my family have already labeled me as bridezsilla. lol I'm really trying not to be but when you want things to go smoothly and be as perfect then yeah the claws will definitely come out. lol
Too funny Bridezilla, cause I know what you mean girl!!!

Child I know what you are talking about. I am prepared. I brought me a megaphone for the rehearsal, because I will not be yelling and lose my voice.
