My fiancée and I just got engaged over the holidays and we have a few etiquette questions! Who typically throws the engagement party, bridal shower and pre-wedding festivities? We want to start celebrating but we don’t know where to begin!
Congratulations on your engagement! Traditionally the bride’s parents throw the engagement party, but nowadays anything goes! Whether you decide to host yourself or someone else is hosting for you, this is a celebration about you, your new fiance and the love you share! Let this pre-wedding party kick off a new chapter in your life, and enjoy!!
The bridal shower is traditionally thrown by the maid of honor or the bridesmaids! We often see mothers wanting to be involved as well, and including them could be a great way to let mom be a part of the fun!
My sister and her boyfriend got engaged over the holidays and I am looking for a small gift to congratulate them! Any ideas?
How exciting for your sister, and how sweet of you to send a gift! Here are a few ideas!
