FH and I got engaged last summer. Wedding is next summer. We've been discussing (thanks to the ww checklist) whether or not an engagement party is necessary or even if it's a good idea now that we've been engaged for a year. What is the point of this party? To introduce our engagement? Which everyone knows about. To get more gifts? (Which I feel awkward giving myself a party for presents). Anyone else having an engagement party? Does someone else throw this for you?

    I personally don't see the point in them, especially since you guys have already been engaged for over a year. Just doesn't seem necessary.

    The general rule around here is that you don't throw yourself a party. I feel like if you wanna just have a party and have friends come and enjoy some drinks and food and not call it an engagement party then go for it. Smiley smile
