How to Throw an Engagement Party

An engagement party may be the happy couple's last chance to indulge in the joy of being engaged before the chaos of wedding planning begins.

Steps:

1. Create unique party invitations with a fun or silly picture of the couple on the front.

2. Go overboard on decorations. Things that might be tacky or over-the-top at a wedding might be perfect for the engagement party. Think heart-shaped Mylar balloons and plastic silver champagne glasses.

3. Find a good picture of the couple. Either frame it or have it blown up to poster size at Kinko's and hang it in a prominent place.

4. Serve food that is fun, romantic and easy to eat and serve. Ask your caterer for tasty finger foods and appetizers and several decadent deserts. Also make sure you have plenty of champagne as well as some fun "themed" drinks, like a Love Cocktail for instance.

5. Set up a microphone in a prominent location so that, as the evening progresses, people can make toasts to the happy couple.

6. Buy two large white sheets of poster board. Write "Wedding Advice From the Women" across the top of one and "Wedding Advice From the Men" on the other in heavy, dark marker. Attach a pen to each and encourage guests to leave notes about things they learned while planning their own weddings.

7. Give these two sheets to the couple when the party ends.

Tips:

Throw the party in the evening when people are much more inclined to dance and be romantic.

Warnings:

An engagement party is probably not a good candidate for a surprise party. You don't want to risk having the couple stumble into the party in the middle of a "where to have the wedding" fight, or a hot passionate kiss, whichever is more embarrassing.

Info for Mill Plain Road Limousine Services in Connecticut

Mill Plain Green is located northwest of Fairfield in an area that has always been known as Mill Plain. It is situated at the intersection of Sturges and Mill Plain Roads and bordered by Mill Plain Green on the north. On the north and west are residences built during the 18th and 19th centuries. The most visually distinctive structure is the large Sturges Cottage, a fine and early example of American Gothic architecture. It was built in 1840 for Jonathan Sturges, a successful New York City businessman and a summer resident of Stratford. To the west of the green is a complex of one- and two-story structures that are all part of a chronic convalescent hospital. The offices are in a large, two-story Colonial Revival structure. The rest are in flat-roofed institutional buildings. They are all set back from the road to allow for parking in front. The only redeeming feature is a stone wall along the street in front of the parking lots that helps to provide boundaries for the green.

The green is flat and somewhat uneven. It is randomly planted with shade trees except for one evergreen near the center.
