Engagement Parties
 he purpose of an engagement party is to celebrate an engagement
with those who are close to you. It is also an opportunity for the bridal party and
for families of both the bride and groom to meet each other if they have not done
so already.
The engagement party marks the first official public appearance of a newly betrothed
couple, giving close friends and members of both families the opportunity to personally
congratulate the happy pair.
Engagement-party etiquette:
The father of the bride may raise a glass in honor of the engagement, but
toasts shouldn't be the focal point.
Brides-to-be often receive a few engagement gifts, mostly from family
members or very close friends. (Party guests who fall into neither of
those categories are not required to buy the bride a gift, though it's
fine if they choose to do so.) Tradition dictates that presents be
sent directly to the bride's home.
The party givers need no longer be the couple's parents - other family
members or longtime friends of the family make perfectly proper hosts.
