\n

Getting engaged is one of the most exciting times in life! You become obsessed with bridal magazines, and you start Pinteresting in your sleep. Cure that party-planning itch and celebrate your engagement with your closest friends and family. If you’re looking for engagement party ideas at home, look no further. We have the perfect engagement party ideas for the low-key couple! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Invitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remember your engagement party invitation sets the tone for your party, so keep that in mind when you’re choosing one. Whether you’re going for super glam or totally casual, sending paper invitations in the mail or digital invites, we have some adorable ideas for inviting guests to your wedding warm-up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\ude06 Make ’em laugh<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you and your fianc\u00e9 love to laugh, then a quirky invitation idea is perfect! Who doesn’t get a good chuckle at awkward adolescent pictures? Include your school photos in this cute invitation<\/a> from Mimoprints. Or if you really want to draw a crowd, invite your guests to drink free beer<\/a>, and of course, celebrate your love story! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfa9 Keep it classy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Simple, elegant, and to the point is the perfect invitation<\/a> style for the low-key couple. Especially if your\u00a0family has been hounding you for months about when your partner is going to pop the question! You also can’t go wrong with retro-inspired invitations<\/a>, especially if you’re planning a themed engagement party<\/a> (costume party anyone?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf81 Pro tip:<\/strong> Make sure to include whether guests should bring a gift on your invitation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Decor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let planning an engagement party get stressful! Use these simple but adorable decor ideas for a delightfully low-key get-together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf88 Bursting with charm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Balloon decor<\/a> is always a lively option for any party. They’re classic and beautiful. Just add some floral accents, and you’re set! Choose a classic color like rose gold and immediately up the aesthetic. And what better inspiration for your engagement party palette? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Including a balloon arch<\/a> is another uncomplicated way to add stunning decor and provide guests with a social-worthy photo opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udc81\u200d\u2640\ufe0f Show off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put your beautiful engagement photos on display in your party decor! Make prints, use twine to wrap them around a tree at your backyard party, or use a pallet<\/a> to hang your framed photos. Check out more ways to display your photos from the queen, Martha Stewart<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every low-key couple needs a low-key menu for their engagement party. Keep it simple with buffets, food bars, and dessert tables with snacks and treats that are easy to grab and go. Spend more time mingling with your guests instead of sitting down for a fancy meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf54 Set the bar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re expecting a crowd and cooking everything yourself, a buffet is always a great option for an engagement party. Whether it’s a nacho bar<\/a> or a build-your-own-burger bar<\/a>, just line it up and let your guests serve themselves! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf68 Dream up tasty desserts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Stick with the self-serve idea and have creative sweets tables for guests to peruse. A scrumptious s’mores bar<\/a> is adorable and would be a surefire hit. If it’s a summer soiree, help your guests cool off by hosting an ice cream social. Pre-scoop several flavors of ice cream and let guests create their own flavor combinations. Learn how to do it<\/a> successfully from Kojo Designs. Don’t forget to include lots of topping options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f Hire some help! <\/strong>If you want to take the pressure off, bring in some professionals. A caterer<\/a> can handle all your food prep, or you can book a food truck<\/a> if you’re planning a low-key outdoor party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take this opportunity to gather all your family and friends and make them participate in a fun activity. Your guests will love these fun engagement party ideas, from hilarious games to competitive challenges. Pass out party favors and prizes for the big winners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u270f\ufe0f Get interactive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fun engagement party games you can do from your couch or around a table are perfect for a low-key couple. Our personal favorite is a round or two of Mad Libs<\/a>! Turn your love story into an absurd and hilarious tale that will have everyone laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re throwing a backyard party, lawn games are the way to go. Find creative Etsy stores that can customize classic games like giant Jenga or cornhole boards<\/a> with your names or photos. Your friends and family can enjoy friendly competition while getting to know one another before the big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd73 Offer fun favors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don’t let your guests leave your engagement party empty-handed! The best party favors are items that are actually useful or even edible. Offer custom koozies<\/a> to keep their drinks cool during the shindig, or offer personalized candies and mints<\/a> for a sweet keepsake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Entertainment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s a party without some fun entertainment? Whether you’re ready to rock out or sit back and enjoy a performance, we have the best entertainment options for your laid-back celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udfb8 Jam out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you love live music, a singing guitarist<\/a> can set the mood with your favorite songs. Or consider a cover band<\/a> if you’re really wanting to rock n’ roll. A classical guitarist<\/a> or keyboard player<\/a> would be perfect for background music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Singing
Hire a singing guitarist like Trevor Martin<\/a> on GigSalad! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd39 Enjoy a show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hire a performer like an aerialist<\/a> or fire performer<\/a> to mesmerize and entertain your guests. Or book a ballroom<\/a> or Latin dancer<\/a> to give lessons and spice up the event \u2013 and to practice for the big day! No matter which type of entertainer you choose, your engagement party will surely be memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"Hoop
Hire a hoop dancer like Venus de Hooplah<\/a> on GigSalad! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
