Should you hold an 'Engagement Party'?

Engagement parties can be a fun way to announce and celebrate your engagement, but not everyone has one. Should you have one?

Should you have an engagement party?

Pros:

* Engagement parties allow you to announce your engagement to your nearest and dearest friends and family in a fun way.
* They’re a great way for your families and friends to get to know each other
* Hey, any excuse to have a party with people you love, right?

Cons:

* Having an engagement party forces you to have a sense of your wedding guest list early, as you shouldn’t invite anyone who won’t be invited to the wedding.
* It is an extra event to plan for and PAY for, or to have someone else plan and pay for
* If you don’t have a particularly long engagement (6 months or less) it may seem awkward to have another party so close to your wedding.
