These days, good news travels fairly quickly (we\u2019re looking at you, Facebook). But that doesn\u2019t mean your engagement shouldn\u2019t be properly celebrated. Below are some tips to plan a perfect, pre-wedding soir\u00e9e that truly represents you as a couple.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><!--more--><b>1. Pick a Date\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Decide on a date that\u2019s not too long after the actual proposal (between one to two months is recommended). This will allow enough time for planning, but not too much that the occasion begins to fade.<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Decide on a Host<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Though it\u2019s not uncommon for the bride\u2019s parents to take the lead, there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t host your engagement party yourself (or ask a friend!)<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Create a Guest List<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The more, the merrier! Keep in mind that many of your friends and family from all corners of your life will want to celebrate this joyous occasion. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity for your guests to get to know each other before the wedding.<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Pick a Location<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are so many possibilities when it comes the venue. Whether you envision having your party at a private room in a restaurant, at a winery for brunch, or in a backyard for some barbecue, anything goes. Be sure to keep in mind that your venue options will also depend on the size of your guest list.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Decorations\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with the venue,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decor and color accents can help set the tone and feel of your engagement party. Think about details like floral arrangements or celebratory decorations that will blend cohesively and compliment your overall theme or color palette.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Send Digital Invitations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More and more brides are going digital because it\u2019s both chic and practical. Keep in mind that your invitation is the first communication that your guests will receive about your party. The design you select will set the tone for what is to come, so make sure your overall theme and color palette is reflected. You\u2019ll want to send your invitations three to four weeks before your party. Keep in mind that managing your event will be dramatically easier by going digital, especially when it comes to tracking RSVPs. It\u2019s a win-win!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Music <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your venue, music might add a nice touch to your party. If you opt for a playlist, make sure you have the right wiring and speaker equipment for your venue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Activity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your engagement party will blend two families, brainstorm an activity that will help break the ice and bring your guests together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Plan a Menu<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your menu will depend a lot on the venue you select. If you opt for an outdoor location, you\u2019ll want to consider your guest list to determine how much food to purchase and cook. If you\u2019re planning to have a caterer, be sure to provide an accurate guest count in advance so that no one leaves hungry. If a restaurant is more your style, you might have a prix fixe menu with a couple options for each course. Regardless of the location, make sure you have some bubbly for impromptu toasts and get ready to clink and drink!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>10. Clean up Crew<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wait until the big day to recruit for clean up. Round up a few helpers in advance so you\u2019re not left alone with a huge mess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3172 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/EngagementPartyBlog.png\" alt=\"Planning Tips for Engagement Party\" width=\"850\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/EngagementPartyBlog.png 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/EngagementPartyBlog-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/EngagementPartyBlog-768x548.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our most important tip?
