Make sure your engagement party is all the more personal and memorable with these 12 great ideas!
The Drinks
Toasting this happy time is a must and there are some cute drinks to clink with. We absolutely adore these personalised wine labels from WowWee (buy them here) that will transform your plain ole vino in to the toast of all time. And it would be a lovely keepsake. If you’re having an intimate get together with friends, you might like the idea of mini champers complete with straws as a cute way to toast this exciting time. Or if you’re all about the romance, add a little amour to the occasion by opting for pink champers instead and serve with frozen raspberries or pink pom pom stirrers!
The Nibbles
Get creative with your engagement party menu in particular your desserts! Make ‘rings’ a bit of a theme – transform donuts in to engagement rings, sugar cookies in to iced sparklers and of course it’s not a party without cake – check out how to make an impressive engagement cake here. Finally, if you’re looking for a way to spruce up some napkins, be sure to take a peek at the tutorial for these adorable diamond origami napkin rings (if like us you’re a little obsessed with the idea of miniature diamonds everywhere, there’s lots more fun DIY diamond tutorials here).
The Décor
If you’re looking to go all out, there are lots of cute décor touches you can work in to your bash. First off, it’s not a celebration without some balloons! Some glitzy silver or gold ones will add some instant glamour and create a fun party vibe while a bunch of pastels will add a pop of colour. If you’re looking to incorporate a little romance, this glittering ampersand will do the job. And you don’t have to spend a fortune on one, you can make one of these guys at home yourself – all you need is strands of sequins, glue and a cardboard ampersand (try the likes of Hickeys for supplies). The party is all about the happy couple, so it could be nice to have a few photos scattered about – check out how to make a fun Balloon Chandelier here. And finally, if you’re holding your bash in a pub, make sure to get your hands on the chalk board out front (if they’re okay with it) to welcome your guests to your celebrations!
