Hey ya'll.
My fiance and I are hosting our own engagement party. Neither of our parents seem too terribly excited about it (to be fair his mother is in NC and her youngest is engaged to be married before us so I understand) and the bridal party is scattered to the wind and doesn't seem to stoked either. I know that I'm going to catch flack for throwing my own party, but I'm only getting married once dang it and I want all the experiences!
With that being said, I'm looking at having a casual little beach bar party at a local spot for a few friends and family. Do we pay for everyone's food/drinks? do they pay for their own? I'm a little lost on the ettiqute for hosting this at a place not my home!
Thank you!
