Wediquette Wednesday: Do my fiancé and I have to have an engagement party?
Each Wednesday, we tackle wedding etiquette. At times, it’s a reader question or one from a colleague, friend or family member and other times we’ll cover a popular issue. (Note: Questions may be edited for clarity and brevity.)
Question: Do my fiancé and I have to have an engagement party?
Answer: The short answer is no. The longer answer is, it’s optional to have an engagement party. Typically if you plan to have a long engagement you may opt for the party. It can be formal or informal and held wherever you’d like, even your favorite watering hole. It’s entirely up to you!
