Recently engaged? February is the perfect month to throw an engagement party! Use classic pink and red decorations with trendy retro accents for the perfect event.
Invitations
Adapt these wedding invitations to fit your needs for an engagement party, or create your own design on a website like Canva! Invitations are the first thing your guests will see, so make sure to incorporate your theme and portray the vibe of your party. Is this a formal sit-down dinner? Use a more elegant invitation. Is your engagement party a casual affair? Consider using more trendy invitation styles. The retro-inspired invitations on the left are available on Etsy and the classic invitations can be found on this Etsy shop.
Decorations
Use red and pink with white accents for the decor. Signage and flowers are a great way to decorate without going over the top. Consider using a florist (it’s always a good idea to create a relationship with a potential wedding vendor) or purchase flowers wholesale and create arrangements yourself!
Outfits
Brides, this is a great opportunity to break out the white! If your party is more casual, jeans and a white top is a great choice. For a more formal event, go all out with a white jumpsuit or cocktail dress like the ones below from Lulus!
Food
For dessert, retro inspired heart cakes are totally trending right now! Plus, it matches the Valentine’s theme and color scheme. Go for a classic all white icing, or add red and pink touches. Consider writing that reads “Engaged AF,” “Lucky in Love,” “Just Engaged,” or “Till Death.”
Party Favors
Matchbooks are definitely trending right now. Give your guests a small, personalized matchbook with a clever pun like “you’re my perfect match.” Include your names or initials and wedding date!
