An engagement party is a celebration of the proposal, and the first event to kick off your festivities leading up to the wedding day. It comes before the bridal shower, bachelorette, or any other pre-wedding party, and you typically invite a smaller guest list than you are planning to invite to the wedding. It’s a chance for you and your partner to celebrate this new adventure with close friends and family, and for everyone invited to get acquainted with each other if they haven’t already met. For example, having your friends meet your fiance’s family or parents meets more of your close friends.
