throwing my buddy an engagement party............ are there rules?

[isasir]

Since it's an engagement party, I'd recommend married strippers.

Ok, usually engagement parties are just parties to announce a couples engagement to friends and family.

I think it would be nice to have a casual BBQ in teh backyard. get some brats and chicken and beer and wine and just enjoy the company. Most of the time though, no gifts are necessary unless people want to get the couple something!

Its usually customary for teh host/hostess to make a quick toast as well.

and P.S. NO FREAKKIN STRIPPER!!!!

I totally agree with your P.S. comment

Because there should be STRIPPERS not just a single STRIPPER, right?

okay. then have it in your great backyard. have your exciting drinks and your guacamole-flavored lays.

otherwise add some spice to it.

if you guys are too conservative for a stripper--go have a lanparty....

:beer:

Just don't forget the lanparty strippers...

thanks ActPrincess, that's pretty much what we planned on doing, but we weren't sure if the engagement party was a family or friend or both thing.

You can get one of those air filled castles and everybody can get wasted, take off their shoes and bounce inside.

I've never understood this. The two parties have already devoted themselves to eachother. Why ruin it with something like this!? When I propose, I'm certainly not going to fvck it up by having naked women at a bachelor's party. If I did, I may as well be fvcking the babysitter 10 years into the marriage too.

To you, possibly. What would his wife-to-be think of the idea? That's what matters, if he doesn't have any sense of loyalty, himself.

I haven't read the entire thread but did anyone mention strippers yet? If not I suggest you hire a few.

Maybe I'm nuts, but isn't it's usually the BEST MAN who brings the strippers against the will (in theory) of the groom-to-be?


BTW some of you people have "Engagement Party" confused with "Bridal Shower." The key difference is that the Bridal Shower should involve male strippers.

It has nothing to do with loyalty. If your wife to be was so insecure with herself that it would disturb her, then your relationship has other problems

Strippers are versatile. They can be used for any occassion. Engagement parties, birth of your first child, etc...

Totally forgot about the first child stripper! [/quote]

you might want to rephrase the "child stripper".

i know what you intended to say but to me it comes off as pretty raunchy.

how about "first child" stripper. with the quotes.

Rule No. 1: Any party a guy throws for a buddy who's getting married has to involve strippers.

Rule No. 2: What happens at the Engagement Party, stays at the Engagement Party.

Rule No. 3: Invite all ATOT'ers within a 50 mile radius. After all, we gave you the stripper idea in the first place!

He's the first of our bunch of friends to get married, so we're a tad inexperienced when it comes to the norm of things.

Can we just have it in the back yard of someone's house with food and drinks? Or is there more to it than that?

We're all 24 years old, so a pretty young crowd will be there.

Well im engaged myself. Do you plan on having a bachelor party? Food and drinks and more drinks and a little more are all I plan to do for my engagement party. Im 26 myself and ill prob me the oldest one that comes. As long as drinks are around, engagement party should be fun

Everyone that is saying "stripper" for the Engagement Party hasn't got a clue, or has not read the thread.

A "BACHELOR PARTY" is taking place later. I'm talking about the Engagement Party here. A separate thing

And like I said, most engagement parties are thrown for the bride-to-be. If you want to have one, then grill out and chill.

And like _I_ said you are confusing Engagement Party with Bridal Shower.

 

[MaxDepth]

there are no rules.
