Planning an engagement party? Congratulations! This is a beautiful way to celebrate your upcoming wedding with your nearest and dearest. And while your engagement party is not your wedding, it is the beginning of your wedding journey and sets the tone for your engagement season! Here are some of our favourite engagement party theme ideas to celebrate your engagement news:
Travel Adventures
If you’re a couple who loves to see the world, then this theme is perfect for you. You can focus on destinations you’ve enjoyed seeing together or even a dream destination that’s on your bucket list. Decorate with globes and maps, give guests party passports, and serve cuisine inspired by different destinations.
Garden Tea Party
If you’re looking to host a daytime party that’s also elegant, a tea party is a beautiful theme to work with! If you opt to host your engagement party indoors, then you can bring in a ton of flowers and greenery into your decorations. Focus on pastel colours and lean into decor with vintage flair. You can bring in a floral bar where guests can make their own bouquets, which can double as your party favours. Serve light and fresh dishes, and don’t forget about the tea!
Games Galore
For couples who like to get a little competitive, this theme is a fun way to celebrate your new relationship status surrounded by your loved ones. You can take this theme in any direction, like an elevated casino night, or a laid back lawn game night. The key here is to focus on activities and prizes for your guests. Food can be served buffet style if you’d like to keep the games going throughout the whole event, or in a formal plated way to create a fancier evening. You can even play around with specialty cocktails to really personalize your engagement party!
Romantic Winery
Focus on the romance by hosting a wine and cheese tasting at any venue. Decorate with cheese boards and wine barrels, ask guests to bring their favourite wines, and serve charcuterie platters and lots of cheese. You can offer your guests customized wine glasses to take home as party favours.
Choose a theme that reflects you as a couple and lean into that theme in every aspect of planning. Consider the decor you want, food you’d love to eat, drinks you need to serve, and the memories you want to make. But most importantly, remember that your engagement party is meant to celebrate you and your love!
