The moment came when he (or she) popped the question. Maybe it happened just as you’d expected, or maybe it was surprise that you delightfully accepted. Whichever it was, there isn’t a better time than now to celebrate your love and future with those you love.
I can tell you that the last year of my life has flown by. I can only imagine how quickly it would speed past if I were in the midst of planning one of the biggest events in my life. This is why I say ‘I do’ to the idea of an engagement party. Here are my top 10 reasons why!
10. To practice your planning skills (you are going to need it!)
9. To spread the joy and let everyone know about your big news
8. For an excuse to get dressed up and show off your boo (admit it, you know we all like it sometimes)
7. To celebrate the contest you just won from Invitation Consultants for your engagement story
6. If you have mutual friends from your past or present, it is a good time to get the gang together for merriment
5. It will get your family to stop asking you “Now when are you two going to tie the knot?”
4. To introduce your partner in crime to your friends and family if they haven't met (better now then at the wedding!)
3. Having a small gathering as a precursor for the massive celebration can either set the tone for your wedding or begin to give you ideas
2. Before the big day gets close and the stress seems to build, you should take the time to share this beautiful time in your life with your mate
1. Do you really need any more excuses to party? You two just made one of the most romantic commitments of your lives!
Don’t forget to submit your photo and engagement story for a chance to WIN $100 Gift Card. The winner will be chosen on October 17th, 2008.
