Engagement Party Guest List

Jennifer, on February 4, 2022 at 10:53 AM Posted in Parties and Events 1 5

We postponed our engagement party so we could do it outside. Do we only invite people who are getting an invitation to the wedding or do we invite all of our friends and acquaintances? Little backstory, every year we hold a giant party in the summer for FH's birthday with friends, friends of our siblings and our kids' friends. Everyone is welcome. Since we will not be holding one this year and we have limited space on our wedding guest list I thought we could just hold it in the spring as a celebration of our engagement. My only worry is that people may get upset they were invited to the party and not the wedding. Note: we are not asking for gifts.

    Anyone invites to any pre-wedding events should also be invited to the wedding itself, even if there are no gifts involved.

    I would only invite those to the engagement party who are also invited to the wedding.

    It would be extremely rude to invite someone to a pre-wedding event for a wedding they aren’t invited to.

    Yes you should only invite people who are going to be invited to your wedding.

    Only invite those who will be invited to the wedding. People at engagement parties tend to ask about plans for the wedding or mention how excited they are for it, and it would make it very awkward down the road when some of those people realized they didn’t “make the cut.”
