Throwing an Engagement Party is the best way to show a friend or relative how valued their happiness is to others. The occasion when betrothal is formally announced is one of the happiest if not the giddiest. The form and level of preparation for an Engagement Party is really up to the people involved.
In some social sets an Engagement Party is fairly formal. These aren’t often black or white tie but can frequently require cocktail dress. In this case a cash bar with a small band is appropriate but catering is not necessary.
At the other end of the social spectrum where most Americans find themselves, an Engagement Party is a less formal dinner party. For this the good china can be used with the best tablecloth in the formal dining room.
Later after the guests of honor have made their big announcement is the time to clear the dishes and bring out the coffee and cake. That may be the best time to switch to paper party goods with the appropriate Engagement Party theme. This allows for less late night clean up.
Still others may want to forfeit the formal dinner party in favor of a simple announcement over tea and cake. When this is the case it doesn’t hurt to use paper party goods for all of the serving and decorating. Appetizers can be added to this party so that there are near meal offerings. Cubed cheese and meats are fine as are pickle tray items.
Whichever route is chosen make sure that this is not a surprise party. Don’t steal the thunder from the happy couple but hint at the nature of the occasion. Guests might be told that the couple has something important to announce if the words “Engagement Party” aren’t to be used outright.
