Ok Ladies I need help planning for an engagement party in Feb (date TBC).
I need ideas for:
*Where to buy a dress for me (and DD, she will be a size 0 or 1)- I am really not a dress person, but would like to make an effort to look 'pretty' and 'feminine'.
*Food - I think that I want a BBQ but then I also think I may want to prepare homemades food?
*I am thinking having it at my Aunties house, outside, she has a lovely block in the bush, should I have tables, a picnic style? And make a heap of lovely picnic rugs (homemade in lovely velvets etc)? But then what if it rains? - Help, suggestions?
*Decorations? If it is outside what could I use? Ballon bundled and weighed down? If I have picnic rugs this would look nice...
I was thinking of having it at 2pm on a Saturday, is this a strange time?
What else am I missing? I am sure I will think of more.
Sounds lovely an afternoon picnic!! Congrats by the way!
The only thing i waould say is make sure you have someone else to do the food so you can relax and enjoy being the centre of attention
I think I really want a picnic a kind of hippy?/bohemian?/gypsy?, can't think of the word - type theme.
Maybe I will get someone else to do the food.... one one hand it would be nice to have someone else do it, but then I would love to do it all and cater for my family!!! I will have to think of the cons and pros... I was thinking of prepreparing in the couple of days prior and then someone can take over on the day?!
i would definately get the food done by someone ....
there are some great places that do like spit roast and salads that are ultra afforable.... and then everyone can just lounge around and relax.
depending on how many ppl u have there it might actually work out cheaper to have a caterer than to buy it all and do it yourself.......
thats a good idea! Espcially if you love to cook! A hippy garden picnic sounds gorgeous, i can picture lil laterns hanging and gorgeous colours all over! make sure you let us know what you decide!

Dont know if you are into this idea, but my cousin just threw an 'engagement party' & once everyone had arrived, they brought out the celebrant and got married!! Nice suprise.
Dress: Myer or David Jones?
Food: A casual bbq is fine, ask friends/family to bring a plate/salad.
Decorations: Go to ikea, if its at night time get some tea light candles. They also have cheap lanterns there.
