Here are some unique things to add to the mix so it will be extra memorable. Also, if you\u2019re like so many smart couples and choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\/engagement-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">beautiful cubic zirconia ring<\/a> over more expensive diamonds, you\u2019ll have more money for the fun stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>LIVE MUSIC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music is a vital ingredient to any celebration. Instead of\njust piping in your playlist, how about having some live musicians? It doesn\u2019t\nhave to be a whole band (although it could be), even an acoustic duo works.\nCoordinate some of your favorite songs with them so they can be worked into the\nset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A SEATING AREA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll probably have seating for the meal, but what about\nthe rest of the time? Arrange a casual \u201clounge\u201d area consisting of a few\noverstuffed chairs, a small sofa, ottomans, and some cozy rugs. Your guests can\ntake a load off instead of standing the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OUTDOOR GAMES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your engagement party will be outdoors, and space allows,\nhave some fun outdoor games at the ready. Cornhole, horseshoes, Jenga,\nchess\u2026these are some great ways for your friends and family to bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PHOTO WALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An engagement party is a good excuse for your guests to get dressed up a little. Capture their fashionable side with a photo wall consisting of a backdrop celebrating your story, and maybe a piece of statement furniture to pose upon. Add banks of flowers on either side. (PS: your guests can add some sparkle with one of Birkat Elyon\u2019s affordable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/cubic-zirconia-rings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">cubic zirconia rings<\/a>!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AN OUTDOOR PICNIC LUNCH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your location and the time of year, a picnic is a fun, low-key way to celebrate your engagement. Set up a casual spread of cheese, fruit, sandwiches, and other \u201cnoshes.\u201d Maybe throw down a few blankets and cushions. Just be sure to have a backup plan in case it rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A SCAVENGER HUNT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your friends and family are a little on the competitive\nside, arrange a scavenger hunt built around your relationship, like the place\nyou first met. Of course, the winning team gets a prize!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PARTY FAVORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send your guests off with a party favor to mark this wonderful occasion, something tied to the theme of the event. For instance, if you held it at a local vineyard, provide a customized wine glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birkat Elyon has long been in the business of celebrating happy couples. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birkatelyon.com\/bridal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">dazzling cubic zirconia rings<\/a> are a smart way to launch your future together!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the proposal but before the actual wedding comes another occasion to celebrate your relationship: the engagement party!
