Rob and Jen's Engagement Party





Engagement Parties are a great way to introduce two families that are going to be joined on the day, their children say "I Do". Recently, we were hired to help the parents of the groom plan an intimate engagement party for their son and soon to be daughter in law. Some of our top priorities were good food and good music. Luckily, our friends from the Alan C. Thomas Group, a Jazz Trio were available and happy to play their music for this party. Food being a high priority, we recruited Circles Bistro who is well known for their fabulous food and impeccable service! Plus, we added a few details of our own to make the event more special. We kept the decor clean and simple with black linens and white satin sashes. We used white hydrangeas as centerpieces and lots of candles. Using some photos of Rob and Jen, we designed a canvas with their photos and added meaningful words like: together, loving, happiness, adored and some others to enhance the reason for the day. With their initials being R and J, we took the first letter of each of their names and painted them white. Then we tied them together with a ribbon that read, "happily ever after". It was a perfect addition to the gift table! As the guests and family members arrived, they were handed a question either about Rob, Jen or them as a couple. They had to find the answer to their question before the end of the night. This was a great way to get the two families talking and learn more about this amazing couple! It was a lot of fun and later on in the evening, everyone enjoyed hearing the stories about these two individuals that will soon become man and wife. Engagement parties are a great introduction to the couple who is about to commit to each other for the rest of their lives and gives the guests an opportunity to learn more about them as a couple! Congratulations Rob and Jen! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of one of your special days!

Thank you to all of our amazing vendors who helped make this event over the top!
