Engagement Party Tips, Tricks & Ideas

By Elba Fenwick


When you first get engaged, you might feel like diving right into wedding planning, but it can be fun to plan a quick, casual party to simply celebrate your engagement. This type of event can be easy to throw together and is a great way for you to introduce family and friends to each other that have not yet met. Here are some tips that can help make engagement party planning a breeze.

Food and drinks are definitely going to be an important part of the event, but you don't have to drop the kind of cash you would at a wedding reception. Keep it simple, fun and easy. When it comes to dessert, you can't go wrong with some unique Chocolate Pizza from Chocolate Pizza Company. There are many varieties of these handmade, gourmet chocolate treats and before shipping, each one is packed in an actual pizza box.

The Chocolate Pizza Company makes pizzas with a dark, milk or white chocolate crust. The dark and milk versions are a mix of melted gourmet chocolate and toffee, while the white chocolate crust is created from melted white chocolate blended with almonds and dried cranberries. For the dark and milk options, there are quite a few topping choices. The Irish Cream Chocolate Pizza and Candy Avalanche Chocolate Pizza are two popular options, as well as the rich Peanut Butter Pizza Pie. You can even create your own custom pizza with your favorite toppings or a special message.

While these specialty chocolates are sure to be a hit, you also will want to have a few special activities at your engagement party. This can be as simple as setting up some small tables and inviting guests to write a word of advice for the wedding couple or perhaps sharing a favorite memory. Games also can be a fun activity and also serve as a great way to break the ice. Often at an engagement party, this is the first time that friends and family of the couple are meeting and some simple fun games can encourage socialization.

If you have a lively bunch of guests, charades can be a lot of fun but put a wedding spin on it by having guests act like famous or notorious couples. This could be a pair like Brad and Angelina or Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as fictional couples such as Mork and Mindy, Barbie and Ken or Romeo and Juliet. A spin on the "Newlywed Game" is another idea, and for this one, you put the newly engaged couple in the hot seat, testing how well they can guess each other's responses. You also can pass out trivia questions about the couple or Engagement Bingo for fun, quick table games.

After your engagement party is over and it's time to nail down the details of your reception and wedding ceremony, Chocolate Pizza can once again come in handy. For instance, the company makes mini chocolate pizzas that make amazing favors for your wedding guests. In addition, they have truffles, chocolate-covered cookies and plenty of other specialty chocolates. A few other wedding favor ideas include tiny potted planes, aromatherapy candles, picture frames or a tiny champagne bottle.
