Wine & Cheese Engagement Party Invitation

Traditionally, engagement parties were hosted by the father-of-the-bride to officially announce the betrothal of his daughter. Times have changed, however, and so have engagement parties. Emily Post’s rules of etiquette are no longer a given. Instead, a couple may carefully choose and curate traditions to set the tone of a wedding, to tell the story of their courtship, and to invite their family and friends to meet and take part in the months of planning and celebration ahead. Planning your own engagement party may be the first opportunity you have to eschew some traditions while keeping the ones you love. And because it’s a more laid-back affair than the actual wedding, you are less likely to scandalise your in-laws by doing so. An easy way to do this is to turn a classic party tradition, like a wine and cheese tasting, on its head. Add craft beers and charcuterie to the mix and allow your guests to vote for their favourites with the promise that the winning pairing will be added to the wedding day menu. The elegant theme gets a fun new twist that will not only give your guests a chance to be directly involved in wedding planning, but will make the mixing and mingling of your different friend and family groups seem effortless.
