ENGAGEMENT PARTY-HELP!
My parents are throwing an engagement party for me and it is scheduled for four hours at a catering hall. My problem is that it is for four hours. We have a couple hours covered with the cocktail hours then food. There will be music but I doubt people will be dancing since there is no DJ and it is in the afternoon and we would like to keep it informal. So what are some suggestions for the rest of the time?? Do we just let people hang out and chat? after all it is all about one family meeting the other right? or do we open the presents even though ettiquite everywhere says to not do that. HELP!!

Maybe you can come up withsome sort of game to play, for instance, list some questions and see who knows the newly engaged couple the best. Or you can play a game to see how well you know each other.
Hope this helps.....

Hello,
May I suggest a Brian M. Hook , Worlds Most Powerful Hypnotist, his shows are very humours and entertaining. He has appeared on National Television, Radio, and performed for Fortune 500 Companies. He travels nation wide, and can gear his show to fit any event. I'm sure you would be very pleased.

My mother in law had an engagement party for my fiance and me. It was simple. Don`t worry. People are easily entertained with conversation. Don`t try to over do it or stress yourself out. Believe me planning the wedding itself is stressful enough. Let your engagement party be a pop in party. Maybe have a table filled with simple finger foods for your guests to enjoy and let people come visit for a little while, conversate, and leave when they want. This way you aren`t spending WAY too much money people have time to make their way around to do what they came for (congradulate you). Remember your "wedding" has to be paid for too. Something else that is good to think about. People who have been married before know the feeling and have experienced something similar. They are excited for you so they are not looking for extreme entertainment, they want to congradulate you and eat all your delicious treats.

Sorry, one more thing. Wait till everyone leaves to open your gifts. Make sure to keep the cards and gifts from each particular person together so that when you write thank you cards you know who gave you what.
GOOD LUCK!!
