Engagement party

Hey! you can have your engagement party whenever you want! whatever timing works best for you. i had my engagement party 3 months after the proposal and am getting married a year and a half after the engagement party. a friend of mine got engaged in august of this year, is having her engagement party in september and plans on getting married in 2021. everyones lives are different so just do whats right for you!

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I appreciate your feed back. It’s been mind boggling on what to do. The internet has so much etiquette for how things should go and not everybody gets married within a year. So, it’s hard placing a timeline on when things should happen.

I think that would be fine as long as you have the party closer to your engagement date rather than your wedding date!

Agree with PPs. Having a party then would be fine!

I’ve been in the same boat! Everything I’ve found online for proper engagement party etiquette assumes you’re getting married in a year. Well I got engaged December 2018, & FH and I are getting married March, 2021. So I figured we wouldn’t have an engagement party at all, since that’s so far out. Though we do plan to have a party a year prior to the wedding (March 2020) to announce bridesmaids + groomsmen. It will just be them only though (total of 14 people, if you include FH & I). I’d go for the engagement party if it’s something you truly want! FH & I just have such large family & friend groups, so we figured an engagement party would also be another huge cost we didn’t want to deal with! Not to mention we planned our wedding far out too. I hope this helps! Happy wedding planning to you 😊
