Engagement Party {Jenna & Jared}


A couple of months ago one of my best friends got engaged! {Yippee!!} We hosted an engagement party at her house which she recently purchased. Lots of her family hadn't seen her new home yet, so the party was engagement/house warming.  With the planning of her sister, and future mother in law, the party was perfect! I was in charge of creating some printables and the decorations.  I apologize for the poor pictures. I forgot my camera and had to use my iphone. 


When you walk into the house, they have a large foyer room. The ceilings are high and there are these beautiful wooden beams. I hung a "Jenna & Jared" banner along the beam and some black paper tissue balls. 
 In my opinion personalized water bottles are an inexpensive, yet eye catching touch to a party. Using waterproof labels, I jazzed up your average bottle bottle. 
 I love favors at a party. It's a nice thing for guests to receive as they leave. I have a large wooden cupcake tower which I used for the favors. I placed a mini sign and extra large engagement ring on top,  then wrapped around all the mini boxes which were filled with personalized Hershey kisses. 

 I LOVED the Hershey kisses. I purchased the .75 circle sticker labels from online, and using the matching template were able to match them up. You could also punch them out with a mini circle punch, but I think this is a more efficient way. 
 I wrapped all the wine bottles with a picture of the newly engaged couple.  It's also a great wedding favor for guests to remember your special day. 
For all the wine glasses, I made cutouts with expressions like "Jenna & Jared," "Eat, Drink, Celebrate," & "She said Yes!" I punched them out using my 2inch scallop punch and punched a hole at the top to be able to tie around the glass. I also added a engagement ring embellishment to each of the glasses.

Congratulations Jenna & Jared!
