I recently helped my best friend host her engagement party.
This is a paid post sponsored by Evite®. All opinions are my own.
It was such an honor to help her during this exciting time in her life! Especially having gone through the wedding process myself, I was able to share all my knowledge with her. We thought it would be fun to have a summertime engagement party in her gorgeous backyard with all of their closest friends to kick off their wedding celebrations! Having an engagement party is so much fun to do, especially because it gives an introduction to all your guests who will be at the wedding. I met so many amazing people in their life that I can’t wait to party with at the wedding next summer!
The first, and most important, detail for their party (any party for that matter) is an invitation! I absolutely love sending out and receiving invitations. It’s an introduction into what to expect at a party and a way to treat your guests with something in the mail (or in this case, online)! As wonderful as paper invitations are, sending them out digitally is a game changer and my friends at Evite® have the perfect assortment of invitations for any occasion! Evite offers a pay once unlimited Premium digital invitation service. Evite Premium Invitations are fully customizable envelopes, stamps, and photos and text inserts. All you do is simply pay once and party all year long with digital invitations that have the look of printed ones! It’s the perfect option for The Every Hostess who plans many parties and events throughout the year!
I love the Evite Premium invitation we chose for Jenny’s party, “string lights invite”. We hung cafe lights in her backyard for the party so it was the perfect invitation for a backyard celebration! It gave the guests the feel of the evening from the moment they opened the invite. Everything was simply organized in the Evite invitation so we knew exactly which guests were coming and they had access to all the details.
Since the theme of the evening was a backyard engagement party we decided to have a menu of summer backyard themed food! From mini corn dogs, fresh summer salads, tacos, sliders and more, everything was so delicious. The bar menu consisted of home brewed beer and Moscow mules by Jenny’s fiancé along with non-alcoholic sodas, wine and champagne! For a backyard party it’s always good to keep the options simple with beer, wine and one signature cocktail. And make sure to offer a non-alcoholic choice!
The color scheme was bright and colorful so the florist put together the most beautiful and colorful arrangements! One of my favorite details was the garland that was hung on Jenny’s fence. It transformed the backyard into a little celebration.
The evening was such a wonderful celebration of two of my favorite people! They have been together for nine years, so everyone was very ready for this celebration. Thanks to Evite, their Premium Annual Pass was the perfect choice to kick off the first of many wedding celebrations! Evite is always the easiest way to bring friends and family together for any event.
