What's your stance on engagement parties? 💍 Do you think a quick party is totally necessary? Or did you skip an formal celebration?

What do you think? Are engagement parties a necessary event, or not??

Not necessary, we skipped this entirely. I've never actually heard of people having one around here.

Not necessary. We chose not to have an engagement party. We knew we would have other wedding related events and did not want to burn our friends/family out.

Totally not necessary, it’s something nice to have but not needed that’s why we’re just having a rehearsal dinner with all of our loved ones that are invited to the party

We didn't have one. Engagement parties are just another expense that isn't necessary.

Not necessary! We actually skipped it, although one was offered to us. We just thought the money could be used elsewhere.

Not necessary as it is an extra expense, but we did have one lol. I'm glad we did, both families put it together and it was just a nice way for both families to start to meet.

Not Necessary - I think it appears as "please help me pay for the wedding and then come a year later and give me more gifts! - oh and the bridal shower!" It's too much...

Not necessary. The weekend after we got engaged we went out with friends, like we usually do, and they bought us drinks as a congratulations. But there was no planned party.

Not necessary, it’s another added expense. The funds can be used toward other wedding related expenses.
