Engagement Party Games?
Find Out What The Best, Easiest Games Are And How To Run Them.

Engagement party games must be added if you want your party to be memorable. Keep reading to learn tips and advice on which games to run and how to run them.





First things first...

Unlike a bridal shower, where the focus is solely on the bride to be. The engagement party is for both the bride and groom to be, and so the engagement party games should be geared to both male and female guests.

Engagement Party Games Often the couple will organize the engagement party, however, if you are a friend or family member who is organizing the party, then consult with the happy couple first.

Discuss ideas on what they would like, and in particular, not like to have included. The number of guests and age range of the guest should also be known as part of the planning process.

The engagement party games should be tailored to suit the guests, no point running a fun marriage advice game if the guest are mostly single.

Keep the games tasteful, as you really don't want to offend anyone, it is an engagement party not a bachelor party after all.

The engagement party traditionally was a surprise party where the family would announce the engagement of the couple and celebrate the prospective union. Since it was a surprise, gift giving was not customary, however times have changed, and these days an engagement party tends to be announced in advance and gift expected. However the gifts would be less formal and less expensive than the gifts that would be provided for the actually wedding.

    Testimonials

    "Thank you Katherine, love your site. I used your suggestions for my 4 year olds birthday party last week. 15 Kindergarden kids! My sister does face painting so we did that. I had a pass the parcel using nursery rhyme music I had a candy between each wrapping of paper which worked well. Finally I did some balloon games. They loved it. I especially liked your idea of having a story time at the end of the party, it worked well, my sister read the stories and I organized the parents as they arrived to pick up their kids. My little girl loved her special day and I think it was the games that made it work so well. Planning my sons 7th Birthday for next month now"

    Sandra, Atlanta, USA



    Just a quick note to let you know that I followed your instructions for running party games at my sons birthday party and it went really well. I did 3 games and the most popular was the obstacle course. I had 10 boys ages 6-10 and once they had played with the course I had set out they then started to create their own ideas for obstacles and rearranged the course making it harder and harder. This 1 game kept them entertained for over an hour.
