Engagement Party

Now that you are engaged you may want to have an engagement party. This is normally sponsored by the parents of the bride but if you wish to be the person to sponsor it you can. Be sure to agree on a date not more than three months after your engagement, then put together a guest list bearing in mind that these persons should also be invited to your wedding. Agree on the type of food you’d like to have, which is for the most part finger food. If you so choose you can join a registry to give your guest an idea of what you would want as gifts at your party. However, this party is not about the gifts so you may opt not to have a registry. This party is all about your engagement so you should be prepared to give toasts and if your guests takes gives for you, you should be prepared to send thank you notes so you must pay special attention to which person gave each gift.

Engaged. What next?

Congratulations on your engagement! Now that you are engaged you need to start planning and in order for the wedding plans not to be overwhelming you will need to first decide upon the date that you would want to get married, this is normally within one year of getting married. The date however depends upon what time of year you’d want the wedding. Depending on the time of the year that you’d like to get married you could start envisioning the theme of your wedding and the ideal location. You and your fiance can start discussing possible locations and the theme of your wedding. Upon agreeing on the theme and possible locations you can start visiting the different locations in order to garner if that is what you envisioned and if it is a hotel the packages that they offer for weddings. You will still need to bear in mind the amount of money that you have to spend so both you and your spouse will need to compile a budget based on all the sources of finance for the wedding. When visiting the different locations chosen remember that the prices that you are told can vary depending on the date and time of year and time of day, the size of your wedding, the level of formality and most importantly the location.

Now that you basically know what you have ahead of you before the wedding it is time to make the announcement of your engagement, if you haven’t already done so. You can put your engagement announcement in your local newspaper or in any paper that you wish. You will first need to find out the cost of placing the engagement announcement in the newspaper and contacting them. This is where you may use your engagement portraits.

Choosing the bridal party is the next task at hand. You should try to agree with your fiance on who should be a part of your bridal party.The earlier you ask them the better it will be for you. They will make the task seem less overwhelming as they assist you in putting together this wonderful, life-changing celebration of love.

Now it is time to make guest list. If you had an engagement party you should bear in mind that those guest should be invited to the wedding, unless you would want a small wedding and explain to them that the engagement party is the big bash for them to celebrate with you. At the time you are making the guest list remember to bear in mind your budget, you do not want to spend too much over your budget because you will be the one footing the bill.

It is never too early to start gown shopping. What have you always dreamt of as your ideal wedding gown. You could start by drawing it and then visiting stores to determine what gown best fits you. However, before you visit the store you could try learning more about the lingo for example read on the silhouettes that would flatter your body, the trail, the hues and necklines.

Engagement Portraits

Upon engagement you will want the world to know the good news, you will also want to remember the place forever. One way of capturing this life changing piece of happiness is through engagement portraits.

The engagement portraits are the first pictures that you will be taking that holds the significance of a strong bond that will be finalized through marriage . As such you will want everything to be as flawless as possible. First, you will have to choose which photographer to use. in doing so you should ask yourself how good is this potential photographer? You can answer this question by doing a number of things. You can look at past work done by the photographer, google the photographer, and most importantly their credentials. If you have a friend or relative that has recently being married then you could definitely look at their pictures and decide if you would like to use their photographer. However, you should try to avoid a studio that has more than two or three photographers as some of the photographers may just be trying to become photographers.

Upon deciding what photographer to use it is suggested that you ask the photographer not only to get posed shots of you but also candid as this will make them look more animated especially if during the wedding you decide to use them as a slide show.

Just remember to bear in mind that this is your special moment. Ensure that the studio has an impeccable reputation of delivering its promises and has been in existence for a number of years.

Go out and have a fun creating your engagements portraits.
