You can hold your gathering anywhere, but when choosing your location, you will want to keep cost and travel ability in mind. At the end of the day, having the wedding of your dreams is your main goal, so make sure not to max out your budget on the party. Additionally, if you have a lot of guests traveling for your wedding, consider hosting your engagement party somewhere more local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, choosing the general vibe you want for your engagement party is the first step in picking a theme and venue. Choose something that feels totally you! A cute idea? Think of a location or activity that you and your fiance love and introduce your friends and family to your love story by setting the scene for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" data-id=\"55550\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"A comfortable sitting area for an engagement party\" class=\"wp-image-55550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-120x160.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/savannah-latimer-and-riker-lynch-wedding-lucy-cuneo-KIMORA-40-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1051\" data-id=\"55549\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-700x1051.jpg\" alt=\"An engagement party venue\" class=\"wp-image-55549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-700x1051.jpg 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-250x375.jpg 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1-120x180.jpg 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/syrencot_wedding_jess_tim_lrg-475-1.jpg 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Lucy Cuneo | Ryan Goold Photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need some help?
