How to plan the dreaded engagement party

Plan at least a week or two in advance, rather than a last minute party flop.

So, it’s your turn to host the engagement party, and everyone is expecting it to be spectacular.

Do not run around last minute, wondering what to do, what to eat or how to keep everyone entertained.

Keep calm and follow our steps below, on how to plan a festive party without the hassle:

1. Plan ahead

Plan at least a week or two in advance, rather than a last minute party flop. Planning in advance gives you enough time to get everything you need, and to prepare the venue or space, which will be used to host the party.

2. Choose a date that suites everyone

Make sure you arrange with everyone before setting the date. You wouldn’t want to leave anyone behind. Avoid family drama, and choose a date, which everyone has agreed on.

3. Decide what food and drinks you want to serve

You do not need to spend hours cooking for your guests. Prepare a delicious meat loaf of pot roast, and request everyone bring along his or her favourites salad or desert. This way everyone can also feel they have made a contribution.

4. Create DIY thank-you gifts for the guests

Its only polite to thank your guests with a gift of appreciation. However, instead of spending loads of money on gifts, rather get in touch with your inner artist, and create your very own DIY gifts.

5. Don’t forget the ‘Kids zone’

Lastly, cater to all the young ones as well, by creating a space designated just for them. This way your guests can have a good time without having to look over their shoulder the entire time.
