Essentials for an Engagement Party Location
When searching for an engagement party venue, it all comes down to your preferences and needs. You can make it a casual gathering in a pub or a black-tie party on a yacht. Whatever location you decide on, make sure it has all the essentials for a memorable event.
What's the size of the venue? Unlike weddings, engagements consist of smaller crowds. Know your guest count before securing your reservation. It'll help you choose the right size and floor plan for your celebration.
Can you bring your own decor? Most party venues on Giggster are readily available for an event. Check with the venue if you can bring your own creative decor to add a personal touch to the space.
Are you going for a formal or informal party? The venue you pick should reflect your style as a couple. Are you going with a dress code? There's no need for fancy function rooms or lavish decor if all you want is some beer and grub at your favourite pub with your loved ones.
Planning Your Engagement Party
We know how stressful party planning can be. This simple guide is designed to help make your engagement planning process as smooth as possible.
Create a Guest List – A major part of organizing an engagement celebration is the guest list. There's no need to invite friends and family from abroad if they are also invited to the upcoming wedding. Once you finalize the list, send invitations at least three weeks before the event. Don't forget to ask guests to RSVP.
Find the Perfect Engagement Party Venue – Finding the perfect venue is not easy, especially if you are planning on a tight budget. We have venue ideas that not only match your style but fit within your budget, too. From vacation rentals to rustic homes in the countryside to upscale banquet halls and loft studios, the perfect site is within easy reach.
Entertain Guests –There are many options for entertaining guests at engagement parties. From live music bands to DJs to playing your own music, it's easy to set the tone for a fun-filled evening with such a selection of entertainment. If the bride and groom are into games and outdoor activities, a murder mystery game, a casino night, or pool games should do the trick.
Plan the Menu – As with most gatherings and family reunions, food is an essential component of an event. You have a lot of options when it comes down to the catering style. Do you want a sit-down meal, a buffet option, or a cocktail-type party with lots of space to dance and mingle?
Engagement Party Expenses to Plan For
Engagement celebrations are not necessary, but many couples choose to mark the occasion even when planning on a tight budget. When it comes to budget-friendly event spaces, we have you covered. Book an amazing restaurant, a bar or a private event space starting at just £13/hour on Giggster.
Do you need a photographer?
Do you want photos of your memorable event? If you decide on a professional photographer, expect to pay anywhere from $200 to $3,000 or more, depending on the length of the session. A photo booth rental may lighten your wallet for another $500.
Are you giving party favours?
If you can afford to splurge, party favours are always a good idea, even if you have them at your wedding. Classic party favours don't cost a lot, but the more guests you have, the higher the expenses. A 2$ keychain or a $4 succulent multiplied by 70 guests is another $300 off your budget.
How will you decorate?
Decorations won't deplete your savings but will certainly make your wallet lighter. Prices for a professional event decorator can range from $60 and more per hour, on top of the price for decorations. To cut costs, you can DIY decorations from balloons, reused vases, jars and flowers, string lights and candles.
