Engagement party

We did. Everyone got told that we are engaged so we didn't see the point in having a giant party to tell everyone again

Never even thought about it. Glad we didn't though, I feel like an engagement party plus a bridal shower, and a bachelorette party is just a lot

We skipped it mainly because my FH proposed to me at my surprise bday dinner last year. My close friends and family were there and we even had a photographer .

Skipped it. There are already enough pre wedding activities

Yes

I didn't have one

Yeah, we skipped it.

Yep. Don't need one and won't miss it. Our families are too all over the place and rather save for the wedding

Yes

I'm skipping most of the wedding-y stuff. It's just not us. We don't want an engagement party, no bachelor/bachelorette party, no shower, no rehearsal, etc. we are only having a ceremony and a reception. That's it.

We had one and it was lovely

Yes

We aren't having one. Most of our extended family and all my BM are out of town. No one offered to throw one (I kind of expected my FMIL to want to) and I think they're kind of a waste of money

We had one because my FILs threw us one. No gifts. Just good friends, family, food and drink.

No engagement party for us. It's just one more party to attend and I feel like the least amount of get-togethers, the better!

I'm not even sure what an engagement party consists of, therefore, it's being skipped. Lol.

We had one as our wedding was 2 years away at that point. It was a bit extravagant for what I would have planned (100 people, open bar, food) but it was great to have an excuse to get all the family and friends together to meet and was fun. It was a no gifts event but most did bring gifts so I have declined the offer of bridal showers and elaborate hens as it gets way too much

Yes

We skipped.

We skipped too. You tell people you're engaged so I don't see the point of a party for it. Unless someone host one for you there's no reason to create another event for people to spend money on you (cause they will).
