Yes I'm having it myself. No one knows the engagement is happening other than my FH and I. So its gonna be a surprise to our guests. Also, had a discussion with my MOH and she is hosting the bridal shower. Dont see why someone else would host OUR engagement surprise

If people don't know you want one then you don't get one. It's a party thrown in your honor, you should not host it yourself. Trina- yes, just send invites when the time comes. If anyone chooses to throw you any sort of party then yay. Remember though, anyone invited to any prewedding party needs to also be invited to the wedding.

Though not sure what we are going to call it because we are already married. LOL We didn't get to have one before but we are now. Have a great time and we expect details afterward. :o)

I think you should do whatever you want. Call it whatever-call it a Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe after the official proposal in front of the family and friends someone will step up and offer to throw you an engagement party. Since no one knows you are engaged its not really an engagement party anyway. I'm sure someone in your family will offer to celebrate you guys as a future husband and wife. It will be fun!

It almost feels as though you guys are lieing to the people attending though. I mean it would be one thing if you told them that you are engaged and that you want to celebrate that with them, but it's another thing to have him propose while there. Maybe i'm just confused or something...I mean August is really early to be hosting an early thanksgiving dinner...Why not just be honest with them and tell them that you are engaged and that it's an engagement party??

Opps that was my bad I looked at your wedding date not your party date sorry. Still it seems like a lie to me. Doesn't really matter what you call the party...It's your choice to do as you please though and i'm not trying to be rude. To me it just seems wrong. I mean how are you going to be "surprised" when he proposes if you already know and then won't it blow your cover that it was all planned. Just a thought though.

I think its not understandable for the fact that its not the same as other brides. Its the first time that our "relationship" will be public. We werent able to be announced for sertain religion reasons. So this will be good news to the people we care about. We are the first couple that will even be hosting some type of celebration since we think that its worth having it after SO many "to-do's" before having permission to have our wedding and relationship official... my FH and I have been together though for three years!! If you knew how it can be to have a boyfriend yet not be able to hug them, kiss them, or even call them a boyfriend in public you would understand.

the only thing i would suggest is that if you are already engaged and hes going to "re-propose" to you is that you tell people it was your way of announcing it. because your friends and family might be a little upset if they thought it was real and not staged and then found out later it was staged and it wasnt the real thing. i hope this makes sense

I agree with Jessica though...If you've been together so long i'm sure that people have seen you in public together so won't they put two and two together. I mean these are things that you are going to have to think about yourself. I don't know what your religious circumstances are but make sure you think everything through thoroughly (sp).

Ok, Dan's Future Wife. I COMPLETELY understand where you are coming from. I say go for it. It's your family, you know what they will be ok with and what they will be shocked about. All in all, they will be happy for you. Don't listen to anyone here - they don't know your situation. I come from, I'm not going to say the 'same background' but something similar to it. So go for it, be happy, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! =)

For all of you confused ladies, the reason she is doing this is because she is part of a religion in which you must ask permission from the brides parents in order for them to be a couple and the future groom must ask for her hand in marriage. It's part of their beliefs and that is what they follow. The families know they are together but, the rest of their friends do not actually know they are engaged. They are doing this gathering to announce their engagement. They are not soliciting for gifts, obviously. It's a celebration with the rest of their families and friends. If I'm not mistaken she is Hispanic, just like I am. In our culture, we do many gatherings/parties, for engagements, etc. It's part of our traditions. What she is doing is not wrong in any way. *Dan's Wife, I hope you have a wonderful celebrations, te felicito en este dia tan especial! Te mando mucha suelte!!

i think this is a really cute idea. and it sounds like youve got everything planned. just make sure someone has a camera to catch the proposal on film for you :] maybe he can give one of his friends a camera and say "here catch this on film" (or somehting not so cheesy) right before he proposes so you can have oictures :] GOOD LUCK!! :]

Yes, they need permission from her parents. This is just like when traditionally a guy had to ask her parents for her hand in marriage. I know that there are still alot of guys that do that but, there are alot that don't these days. It's a matter of respect in the eyes of her parents and God.

Back to the post and earlier comments. Question....she is having a party where she is going to surprise everyone with a proposal. That is not an engagement party, right? I thought an engagement party was done after the engagement to celebrate, and should therefore be hosted by someone else. But in this case it is not an "engagement party" because they aren't officially engaged yet. Right?

I am with you Lynda L. I like to learn about new cultures and experience things from someone elses shoes. I couldn't even believe the Dugger marriage and all the control the Josh and Anna had. I know I go crazy if I don't kiss my FH goodbye, goodnight, etc so I can't even imagine not being able to announce that you are together. @ The Potters. I believe you are right. Technically this isn't an "engagement party." It's more like a coming out party. If what i've heard is true then yes the engagement party is thrown after the news of the engagement is out and someone else does throw it for you.

I think maybe the term "engagement party" is being used loosly here. This is more of an announcement. There will be the proposal and should someone choose to throw an actual engagement party after then thats an added bonus. In the culture should they become engaged, I beleive they would then realize they were together at that piiint, and I'm sure some people knew, as mentioned her family. Its just a culture thing and good for them for sticking to traditions. I think it will be a nice way to be able to share a great moment with your family and freinds.

BTW my cousin is a Seventh Day Adventist and none of the married people in their church wear wedding rings (I've witnessed some of the strongest marriages come from that community) so really it's not as uncommon as some may think. And the ring is simply a symbol the marriage is what speaks volumes...

Yeah... To me I feel like the ring many times even by those who believe in it have disrespect its meaning. Some men take it off to flirt around with other women and make them believe they are single. That is a shame..... because even though the ring is off or on he is still married. Therefore we believe actions and the the way you approach others can show that you are married without the need of a ring; And you can even say you are married or show off your spouse. awww can't wait!

Dan's Future Wife- What are you doing about tables, chairs, etc. Can the church provide them? I'm assuming you are doing paper/plastic plates and utensils for easy clean up. Also think about serving trays/platters and how you might keep food warm for those who arrive a lil late. Other than that it sounds like a fun time! I started reading through the other comments and it doesn't seem like you actually got much of the advice you were asking for...so I hope this helps.

OH I also read in a recent Bridal article that Engagment parties can be thrown by the couple if they wish, or by a friend or relative, being that an engagemnt party is a fairly new concept, I don't think guests would care who throws it, as long as they know how to throw a party!

Thanks to the recent comments. I appreciate your posttive attitude. ==> About clean up and tables... hhmm yeah I have the church helping with putting the chairs, and tables. My FH will bring in three tents to put outside with more tables and chairs. The plates and utensils will be plastic to lower the expenses... and make it a bit casual.the BBQ will be happening for most of the party so meat will be freshly cooked. I have catering containers to keep the rest of the food warm.

"why cant you host your own party?" In some circles, engagement parties are gift-giving events. In NYC they always are. So it's like throwing your own shower - it's tacky for you to invite people to something where they are expected to bring you a gift.

HP, that may be true in many cases, however, Dan's has said many times that people don't even know that the engagement is taking place! They are calling it a "thanksgiving" party. No one is expected to bring gifts, so, no worries! It's just a celebration :)

I dont want many gifts happening either... since many of them just feel better helping out towards the wedding or honeymoon. Gifts for us usually happen at the bridal Shower and mostly at the wedding... its weird... lol cuz ive heard so many say in these postings that gifts are usually given on the bridal shower and notthe wedding...
