So my fiance and I are planning an engagement party in October. I want it to be very casual and fun, like a come and go as you can type of thing. But I don't know what you are actually supposed to do at an engagement party???? At the moment I am treating it like just an usual fall party/gathering. I was thinking snacks and drinks, etc. Since it'll be in October, I was thinking about getting the fire pit going, but other than that, I am completely clueless. This will be the first time some of the wedding party meets, if that matters. I just don't want people to come over and then have nothing to do...
We plan on having a "after party" at the bar near my house for any adults that want to continue the party, since there will likely be children at the engagement party.

I understand that some people do not think that we should host our own party.
However, the main reason we want to have this for everyone to meet and have a
good time. My family lives 3 hours away, my fiance’s family lives in a
different state, and our wedding party lives in a variety of places
(California, multiple cities in Indiana, and even Serbia). We are just making
this celebration our own and easier for everyone. This is not a gathering for gifts.
