\u00a0 1. A Walk Down Memory Lane<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
Make a creative display of all the moments building up to this day. You can do this by putting together a cute visual of your journey together as a young couple in love, finally making it to their engagement ceremony – ready to embrace their life together.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAlternatively, if you\u2019re more old school, you could also tell your story through <\/span>a photo book<\/span><\/a> and keep it around the venue for your guests to have a look at. You can even have a fun little quiz after that to see who knows your journey the best.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 2. The Ring Hunters<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Here\u2019s another way to add a spark of fun to your <\/span>engagement party<\/span><\/a>. Make or buy a few cheap rings and hide them around at your party venue for your guests to find. Have them hunt for these rings, and reward the person who finds the most.<\/span><\/p>\n
To spice up the event, you can hide your actual engagement rings<\/a> to make this hunt even more rewarding!<\/p>\n
\u00a0 3. Make it a Themed Party!<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\nWho doesn\u2019t love a good theme for a party? It\u2019s a fantastic way to streamline the whole process. The decor, invites and food is so much easier to plan when you have a specific goal in mind. So take your pick from fine dining and cocktails, a garden party, or whatever else it is you fancy.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0 4. How Well Do You Know the Bride\/ Groom?<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Another great game to play at your\u00a0ring ceremony is having your friends and family to answer questions about the couple. You can get creative with this and make it as difficult or as easy as you like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Engagement parties generally tend to be more close-knit than weddings, so likely you\u2019ll only have your closest friends around. That\u2019s what makes this game especially fun to play.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 5. Add Clues to Your Invites<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Have you announced the big date yet? If you haven\u2019t you could use this opportunity to get creative with your invites. Throw in little clues to your big date (without being too obvious), and have your guests guess the actual date at your engagement party.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
This is a fun way to tell them to \u201c<\/span>save the date<\/span><\/a>\u201d as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0 6. Photo Booth<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Whether you like or not, taking photos and selfies are a universal phenomenon. So why not let your guests indulge themselves in a <\/span>photo booth<\/span><\/a>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Put together a set of fun props and keep a few cameras ready. If you\u2019ve got a big budget, you could also get in a photographer to take pictures for you. You can then have the best ones printed and gift <\/span>photo bookmark strips<\/span><\/a> to your friends, later as a thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0 7. Couples\u2019 Karaoke<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Do you and your partner love to sing? \u2018Cause if you do, you should consider adding karaoke to your party. All you have to do is select a list of songs and download their karaoke tracks, rent out a projector (or use your T.V if it\u2019s at home) and take to the stage!<\/span><\/p>\n
Depending on who you\u2019re inviting you could also make it a family karaoke, a couples\u2019 karaoke or have a general theme of love songs throughout.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 8. Make it a Surprise Party!<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
If you haven\u2019t already told your friends that you\u2019re getting engaged, surprise them! You can tell them they\u2019re invited to a party, but don\u2019t tell them why. When they show up, surprise them all by breaking the news that it\u2019s a ring ceremony.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0 9. Engaged for a Cause<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
Don\u2019t feel up to going the whole nine yards on your engagement ceremony? You don\u2019t have to! Have a simple celebration instead, and donate the rest of your engagement budget to a charity or cause you to care about it.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0 10. Consider Customized Engagement Favors<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n
We recommend that you put thought into your engagement favors. While the photo booth idea is one way to give your guests something of value to take home, you could also create little customized gifts for them as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
