The Engagement Party.

Our engagement party has come and gone.
Thankfully we had beautiful weather
The "Burger Bar" was a brilliant success and a very budget friendly way to feed everyone (Think it cost about $200 to feed 60ppl).
We had the perfect amount of alcohol (only 4 bottles of red/white and almost a slab of beer left).
The decorations look fantastic! PinkFrosting's red and white polka dot lanterns looked brilliant.
I will post more pictures of the set up once the place is a bit cleaner (The unfortunate end of a party = cleaning up!)

Let the wedding plans start now :)

Engagement Favors.

I have a question for you all.

Is it over the top to have "Favors" at your engagement party?

How beautiful are these little DIY Paper Fortune Cookies?

I love the idea of making these for the engagement party with beautiful love quotes in them. We would make them match our theme of Aqua, Red and White.

What are your thoughts?
