Engaged? Celebrate With A Fun, Casual Event

By Elba Fenwick


When you first get engaged, you might feel like diving right into wedding planning, but it can be fun to plan a quick, casual party to simply celebrate your engagement. This type of event can be easy to throw together and is a great way for you to introduce family and friends to each other that have not yet met. Here are some tips that can help make engagement party planning a breeze.

Food and drinks are definitely going to be an important part of the event, but you don't have to drop the kind of cash you would at a wedding reception. Keep it simple, fun and easy. When it comes to dessert, you can't go wrong with some unique Chocolate Pizza from Chocolate Pizza Company. There are many varieties of these handmade, gourmet chocolate treats and before shipping, each one is packed in an actual pizza box.

The Chocolate Pizza Company makes pizzas with a dark, milk or white chocolate crust. The dark and milk versions are a mix of melted gourmet chocolate and toffee, while the white chocolate crust is created from melted white chocolate blended with almonds and dried cranberries. For the dark and milk options, there are quite a few topping choices. The Irish Cream Chocolate Pizza and Candy Avalanche Chocolate Pizza are two popular options, as well as the rich Peanut Butter Pizza Pie. You can even create your own custom pizza with your favorite toppings or a special message.

Unique specialty chocolates definitely will set your party above the rest, and guests will enjoy snapping off chunks of Chocolate Pizza and munching, but to encourage even more mingling, consider adding some activities to the evening. Guests can fill out cards with marital advice and place them in a basket, decorate picture frames with a special congratulatory message or even write fun captions above pictures of the happy couple that you attach to a large poster board. Games also can liven up the evening, so consider planning a few of these as well.

You could pass out sheets with trivia questions about the newly engaged couple. While your guests enjoy cocktails, appetizers and specialty chocolates, they can answer questions about the couple. You also could have friends and family members ask the couple questions "Newlywed Game"-style to test how well the couple knows each other. You could invite a few other couples to join in on this game, as well. Charades can be fun, and for an engagement party have the guests pretend to be famous married couples and the other guests can try and guess which couple they are mimicking, this might include Barbie and Ken, John and Yoko or any other famous pair of the past or present.

After your engagement party is over and it's time to nail down the details of your reception and wedding ceremony, Chocolate Pizza can once again come in handy. For instance, the company makes mini chocolate pizzas that make amazing favors for your wedding guests. In addition, they have truffles, chocolate-covered cookies and plenty of other specialty chocolates. A few other wedding favor ideas include tiny potted planes, aromatherapy candles, picture frames or a tiny champagne bottle.
