Engagement Party Invitations - What To Say...

I am coordinating an engagement dinner for friends. This will be a "no host" dinner. How should the invitation read so that there`s no misunderstanding and we don`t get stuck with the dinner/drink tab.

Thanks.

Perhaps you should rethink the event. I would recommend getting a group of people to go out to dinner and have some drinks to celebrate the couple`s engagement. I wouldn`t however send out formal invitations inviting anyone because then people would think it`s a hosted event. You could coordinate the dinner in an informal way such as saying to your friends "hey, let`s meet out for some drinks and dinner to celebrate X and Y getting engaged."

I am getting married in the U S where me and my husband will be living ,but most of my friends live in the Caribbean.I want to have a engagement party for my friends and few of my family that can not attend the wedding in the States.
I am having trouble with what I should put on the engagedment invitations,Since the gift request would include asking for monitary funds . Please help.

Blue, invites should never request gifts of any kind. One should not invite people to a party in one sentence then say "hey bring us cash." Don`t presume people are going to give you gifts for your engagement party - they are not obligated to do so.
