we had decided to not have an engament party, and we where just going to combine my 30th birthday/enagment and have a meal. last night we where working out how many people we would need to invite and it was way to many for a meal, so we have now decided to have an enagment party, whoop whoop exciting stuff, but we are having it 24th july so not long to sort everything out, my nan is finding out today how much the hall will be and if it is free, once that is done then got to book a dj, then its the decorations and invites i must be mad, but at least it gives me somthing other than the wedding to do which will also make the time go so much faster as well well excited now lol xxx
cant wait to renew my vows, love my hubby sssssooooo much xx

CommentAuthoreebeegeebee
Same here, we're having an engagement party bbq in our back garden in late may. Figured that's the most cost effective way!

happy days, we just had one at the house which was great... :)
CommentAuthorMrs fairytale
yeah, it doesnt have a bar in it, but thats all good a friend of mine runs a mobile bar and he said he would do it for free for us, plus he also said he would give us a % of the taking, and our wedding photogragher( who is a friend) has said he will do our photos for it for free and have all so got a friend asking one of his mates who is a dj if we can get him will only be £50, only decided to have a party at 10o'clock last night and its nearly all booked already get in xx

CommentAuthorMrs fairytale
u will be fine hun, just enjoy it after all u have worked hard on that one day so just relax and enjoy all your hard work, it will be brilliant. luckerly i know that to 2 sides of the family are ok together as had the kids christened last year and they where there, about 30+ and they all came back to our 2 bedroom flat there was no fights so thats something lol, the only problem is that MIL2B and FIL2B hate each other so could be so tension there but fingers crossed they will just stay the hell away from each other xx
cant wait to renew my vows, love my hubby sssssooooo much xx

CommentAuthor?Mrs Filmer?
i cant decide if i want an engagement party or not. on one hand its great to flaunt your ring off and have a big chat with everyone about it, but the money side of it, why not just save it towards the big day. any ideas girlies?? im stuck like glue on this. xxx
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Doesn't have to be expensive- ours cost about £30- we get the local pub to but a curry on for us, then the young ones went clubbing.

CommentAuthorMrs fairytale
we where going to go out for a meal, which each person had to pay for their own but we ended up with to many people hence the last minute party, u could just have a BBQ party at home, get everybody to bring a bottle. think our party with everything inculeded isnt going to cost more than £300 XX
cant wait to renew my vows, love my hubby sssssooooo much xx
CommentAuthorpouchi-loo
i agreed with fairytale, that what we plan on doing, providing food and music and everyone will bring their alcoholic drinks.
