Get The Ring

At the top of the agenda is purchasing the engagement ring. Hopefully, you’ve decided on the type of ring you want to buy. If not, you can always ask friends and family, look at the latest trends, or browse online stores for their inventory of square, oval, princess, or halo cut engagement rings. 

Pick A Date

Now that you have a ring, you’re ready to set a date for the proposal and engagement party. Ensure that you keep your partner’s schedule in mind when planning. Try to choose a day where neither of you has too many outside obligations. 

Holidays or significant dates in your relationship are often ideal. For starters, your partner won’t question having guests over the house or going somewhere to celebrate. Another reason is that everyone is likely already preparing to gather (if you choose thanksgiving or Christmas, for instance). 

Create A Guest List

Next, you should put together a list of people you want to invite. This doesn’t have to include everyone that you might invite to your wedding, as the occasion is meant to be intimate and unique. Therefore, try to keep it to parents, siblings, and best friends.

Send Out Invites

Once you’ve got a guest list, send out invitations to the engagement party. While you could purchase invitations from a store and mail them the old-fashioned way, sending out digital invites is a lot easier. You can create an event on your social media platform or email invitations in a matter of minutes. 

When creating the invites, remember to inform everyone that it’s a surprise, so they don’t accidentally tell your significant other. Give them your contact information so that they can reach out to you directly with any questions or concerns. Finally, include details like where to park, how to enter, and dress codes.

The Main Event

Now you’re ready to plan out the specifics for your main event. You’ll want to have a decent menu, entertainment, and decor for the engagement party. Depending on your budget, the menu can be as elaborate or simplistic as you’d like. You can opt for a cocktail event where you serve drinks and appetizers to guests or go with a full-course meal complete with dessert. 

Preparing the food yourself isn’t ideal since your partner might get a little skeptical about you cooking for hours. So, you can either ask friends and family to prepare food, buy pre-packaged items that are already prepared, or have it catered by a local restaurant. As for drinks, you can create one or two signature cocktails and then simply purchase common liquors, juices, and soda. 

Entertainment doesn’t have to be over the top either. Since you’re keeping things intimate, you could create a playlist and stream it from your smartphone or mobile device throughout the party. Stick to traditional decor for a romantic occasion like candles, string lights, and flowers. You can also hang pictures of the two of you around the house to add to the mood. 

Getting engaged is a joyous occasion for couples. It’s only natural that you’d want those closest to you there to celebrate this precious milestone. If you’re planning to pop the question and celebrate the same day, the tips listed above will help ensure that your surprise event goes off without a hitch.
