An engagement party is held to celebrate the commitment of two people who are planning to get married. Engagement parties are often used as an opportunity to officially announce to family and friends that the couple is engaged. It is a way to celebrate a big step in the couple's relationship, showing their happiness and love for each other. An engagement party provides an opportunity for family and friends from both parties to meet and get to know each other before the wedding day. This party also marks the start of wedding preparations, giving the couple time to start planning their big day. This party is an opportunity to make beautiful memories with those closest to you, celebrating love and the future together. Each couple may have different reasons and ways of celebrating their engagement, depending on traditions, culture and personal preferences. Many people think that engagement parties are a waste of money. It's best to just get married straight away. This view is very natural and many couples think so. Hosting an engagement party can add significant costs to the series of events leading up to the wedding. If the budget is limited, it may be wiser to allocate funds to the wedding itself rather than throwing an engagement party. This ensures that the main event, namely the wedding, can take place more perfectly. Some couples may feel the engagement party is an important tradition and want to honor it. However, if this tradition is not very important to you or your family, maybe you can skip it. Some couples feel that an engagement party is important to introduce family and friends from both parties. However, if family and friends already know each other, this need can be ignored. If you still want to celebrate your engagement without spending a lot of money, you can consider a small or informal celebration such as a simple dinner with family and close friends. The essence of engagement is a commitment between two people. If a big celebration doesn't fit your wishes or budget, what matters is the mutual respect and love between the couple. Ultimately, the decision to throw or not throw an engagement party should be tailored to the couple's values, priorities and financial situation.
