Engagement party invitations are sent out to friends and family celebrating the newly engaged status of the couple.

This party is usually hosted so that the partners get a chance to introduce their side of the family and they also use this party to introduce different sets or groups of friends.

Engagement parties are not required as per protocol and therefore can be hosted in any kind of a setting. If you plan to do so, Invitations sells engagement party invitations that you can shop for.

Most of the engagement parties are hosted as casual parties though some couples prefer to have a black tie dinner or a formal affair. The latter, however, does require a considerable budget.
