A Flawless Engagement Party ~ Cottages by the Bay
It’s official! You’ve said yes to the proposal and the big day is officially ahead. Often, the perfect way to announce your engagement is to have a celebration. From standard etiquette to the latest trends, we have your guide to a flawless engagement party covered.
Typically, the bride’s parents host the engagement party. This is not a hard and fast rule, mix it up if you’d like! Often, the event occurs up to three months following the proposal. Having the party within this time frame keeps the news fresh and exciting for all involved. Lately, it’s been trendy to host the party immediately after the proposal. This may take some coordination and secrecy on the host’s end. After all, you wouldn’t want to ruin a surprise proposal. Once the timing is set, send out the invitations. Engagement party invites, while important, are not as formal as wedding invitations. Feel free to get creative, incorporate a theme, and play to the party venue’s features.
Additionally, it’s important to choose a location that keeps everyone engaged. Each guest wants to give their best wishes to the future married couple. Engagement parties occur everywhere from backyards to fine dining restaurants. Sometimes, the location holds significance to the newly engaged couple. Our favorite Destin event venue, the Bay House™, is the perfect space to celebrate the happy pair! Your guests can enjoy a spacious, beautiful venue with a stunning waterfront view. What’s more? Stay at the Cottages by the Bay just across the street to keep the party going. These seven charming cottages are perfect for up to 44 of your closest family members and friends to stay and celebrate the upcoming nuptials. Contact us today to reserve the perfect getaway for your party.
Relax & Enjoy!
Above all, remember the the true mark of a flawless engagement party is to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The party offers each attendee the chance to mingle and get to know one another. It’s time to lean into love and celebrate!
