Planning an engagement party can be a lot of fun. However, when it comes to engagement parties there are many ways in which they can get very boring very quickly. When planning a party, you need to make sure that the guests have something to do or at least occupy their time. One of the best ways to do this is by creating games for them.
The type of games that you play will depend on the guests at the party. You should consider who your friends are and what types of things they enjoy doing. You can then design games to incorporate these interests into your engagement party. Here are some fun ideas for games for girls’ engagement party.
Pin The Tail Of The Man On The Man is a great game for both girls and boys. It is a simple game where each guest is given a tail and told that they have to keep it on for the duration of the party. Then at the end of the game there is a prize given to the person that has kept their tail. This would be quite a task for some people. If you have a pool, you could use the prizes to divide the participants up and determine who keeps their tails.
A variation on the pin the tail game is called “ambole” and is similar. In this game there are two people that are blindfolded. Each person is given a dollar and they are asked to guess where the other person is. They do this by rubbing their hands together. This guessing game is extremely fun for the engagement group.
What about a Memory Cup relay? This is a very cute game that is perfect for younger children. Two little girls sit in a circle. A maid gives them a long string of string that they can hold onto. Each time they put the string on incorrectly, the next girl steps forward and swaps the string with the one that came off. It is incredibly exciting for the girls.
An activity that you could do at your engagement party or bridal shower is to have contests. You could have a “Best Dad” or Best Mother” award ceremony. The guests could vote for their favorite person. This awards them with a big prize and makes the evening even more fun filled.
Be as creative as possible. Have the guests put together a scrapbook of pictures from the wedding. You could record video clips of the ceremony and then compile the clips into a video montage. There are many other creative ideas that you could come up with.
Making an engagement party fun is easy when you have lots of fun planning it. Try to keep the event relaxed and enjoyable. Keep it short so the guests can catch up quickly. Most importantly, have fun!
When planning an engagement party, make sure that all of the guests, including the bride, groom and best man know exactly what they are to wear. Make sure that there is plenty of time to get everything arranged. The bride should also be informed about the kind of theme that you will be using for the party.
The bride will generally want her wedding dress to be a very special, one of a kind design. If you cannot afford to hire a designer to do the dress, try to find someone who is well qualified to make it up. It is always better if the bride is involved in planning the party. This way, she will be able to choose the kind of invitations and decorations. She may even decide to choose the colour scheme for the party.
For the boys, the main thing to remember is to dress casual. Although it is tradition to wear ties, it is usually not required. Some brides would even opt for casual T-shirts or shorts to make the whole thing even more fun. You should have a list of licensed restaurants or drive-in theaters in your area so that guests can come and enjoy a movie together after the engagement party. If you have a theme, make sure that you mention it to all of the guests ahead of time. For example, you can let them know that the engagement party will be held at a drive-in theater.
The last thing that you need to consider when you are thinking of throwing a fun engagement party is whether or not your friends and family will fit in with the rest of your party. There is nothing worse than having to cancel a party because there are too many people showing up for it. Keep in mind that the engagement party is only one night. You should plan to have it again the next year if you wish. If you can, consider asking everyone to bring a gift, which will make the party even more memorable.
