Engagement THEME |
 |
Throwing an Engagement Party is the best way to show a friend or relative how valued their happiness is to others. The occasion when betrothal is formally announced is one of the happiest if not the giddiest. The form and level of preparation for an Engagement Party is really up to the people involved.
In some social sets an Engagement Party is fairly formal. These aren’t often black or white tie but can frequently require cocktail dress. In this case a cash bar with a small band is appropriate but catering is not necessary.
At the other end of the social spectrum where most Americans find themselves, an Engagement Party is a less formal dinner party. For this the good china can be used with the best tablecloth in the formal dining room. But make sure the groom has visited an jewelry store for a Wedding and Engagement ring prior to the event.
Later after the guests of honor have made their big announcement is the time to clear the dishes and bring out the coffee and cake. That may be the best time to switch to paper party goods with the appropriate Engagement Party theme. This allows for less late night clean up.
Still others may want to forfeit the formal dinner party in favor of a simple announcement over tea and cake. When this is the case it doesn’t hurt to use paper party goods for all of the serving and decorating. Appetizers can be added to this party so that there are near meal offerings. Cubed cheese and meats are fine as are pickle tray items.
Whichever route is chosen make sure that this is not a surprise party. Don’t steal the thunder from the happy couple but hint at the nature of the occasion. Guests might be told that the couple has something important to announce if the words “Engagement Party” aren’t to be used outright.

Homemade party supplies, such as homemade party streamers and handmade Engagement Party banners are important to an engagement party. Homemade streamers can be made a variety of ways, but the simplest homemade streamers to make are made with crepe paper. This handmade party supply and engagement party paper streamer will compare to most other homemade paper streamers.
Engagement party homemade party supplies and paper streamers can be very elegant. First of all, to make homemade paper streamers for an Engagement party, using five to six feet of crepe paper of various colors, roll out the amount that is needed and cut. Once the paper has been cut, take either a pencil or nail file and pull down the crepe paper with a strong motion. This action will cause the crepe paper to crinkle or wave. As this happens, the paper can be twisted and for the most part, it will fall into place, making perfect homemade anniversary party paper streamers.

Engagement Cake Ideas
An engagement cake as well as all of the party supplies involved in an engagement party should be the direct reflection of the couple being married. Some couples are more formal while others are more laid back. The cake should generally follow the structure of their lifestyle and desires.
For a more formal engagement cake, white, ivories and different shades of pastel colors could be used. These colors are formal yet soft and elegant. Even if the couple’s wedding colors will be bold and completely different, an elegant engagement cake such of this would be a nice touch. Some couples, however, prefer to stick with using their wedding colors throughout everything they do, including the creation of their engagement cake.
For more laid back couples, an engagement cake can simply be a collaboration of things they love to do together as well as hobbies they have individually. A one or two layer cake can be a canvas for a canoe going through a river, a mountain for mountain climbing, a television in one area with a model cat in another area of the cake. An eclectic cake such as this shows personality as well as being fun and light-hearted.
