Engagement Party Connecticut

Once you've made the decision to become engaged, you should tell your parents, family members and close friends about your marriage plans before making a formal engagement announcement. This is usually done in the local Connecticut newspaper, although you can also send out announcements in the mail if you wish. When all the announcements have been made, wedding, marriage, engagement announcements declare that it's time for the party!

2. Planning The Menu

Your engagement party can be as formal or informal as you like. You may decide to have a casual dinner at a restaurant around Connecticut with friends to celebrate the occasion, or you and your parents may prefer to host a party at home. Again, this can be anything from a casual lunch to a more formal cocktail party.

The type of engagement party you give will influence the menu. This is something you should plan as soon as possible. Even if you will be using caterers or having the party at a restaurant in Connecticut, you will need to know the available menu options. If you are giving the party at home and prefer to do your own food preparation, you will need to start browsing through recipes to decide on the menu and even test some dishes in advance if you have not tried them out before. Use the Internet to find party menu recipes.

For a sit-down meal you will need at least two and preferably three courses, while for a party such as a cocktail party that does not include a full meal you will need plenty of snacks such as hors d’oeuvres and, of course, cocktails. Many recipes for interesting hors d’oeuvres and cocktails are available in recipe books and on the Internet. As they may require ingredients that you don’t usually keep in your pantry or wine cellar, make a list of your requirements and buy them as soon as possible to avoid last minute panic.

3. Announcing The Party in Connecticut

When you have made a decision about the type of engagement party you want, it’s time to send out the invitations. They should include the name of the person hosting the party, the venue, the date of the party and the time from when you want guests to start arriving. You will know some of your guests as couples, and can address the invitation to both of them. Unless you are seriously restricted as to numbers, single people should also be given the option of bringing a friend or partner to the engagement party in Connecticut. Include an RSVP date and contact details for the reply.

Make it easy for your guests to decide what to wear by specifying the type of engagement party on the invitation. If it’s a casual gathering around the pool they will know to bring swimwear, and if it’s an evening cocktail party they will be aware that the dress will be more formal. If people will be coming from out of town, the inclusion of a map giving directions to the party venue is helpful. Send the invitations from two to eight weeks in advance of the engagement party and prepare a gift list in case guests want help with deciding what to give you. When all that is done, you and your helpers can start planning the engagement party.

4. Celebrating With Cocktails

A cocktail party in Connecticut is a wonderful way of celebrating your engagement, especially if you have a large number of guests to invite. It creates a friendly atmosphere and gives you a chance to move around and mix with everyone without having to think about serving a sit-down meal. You also don’t have to worry about whether the guests you have seated next to each other or across from each other will be compatible. At a cocktail party, people can always move on and find someone else to talk to.

While in theory a cocktail party has a starting time and is usually supposed to end about two hours later, these times are not set in stone. This flexibility allows people who may have other appointments to drop in for a short time, and also creates an interesting and constant flow of arrivals and departures. Even though you should be able to relax and enjoy your engagement party as much as possible, keep an eye on your guests to make sure they are also having a good time. If you see a guest standing alone, spend a few minutes chatting with him or her, and then find someone else to take your place before you move away. Paying this type of attention to your guests is all part of being a good host, and will help to make your engagement party enjoyable for everyone.
