You look to your side, and you see the person of your dreams, ready to meet you at the end of the aisle. You look at your hand, and you see the ultimate symbol of promise and hope, an engagement ring.

And if you and your partner have decided to choose a ring together, then there are many beautiful engagement ring options for you to choose from. Right, so you two know that you guys are engaged, and maybe a few close friends and family, but how are you going to make it known? How are you going to celebrate?

Up until recently, engagement parties were not popular. Sure, in decades gone past, there may have been a civilized, yet boring tea or brunch meant for celebrations, but that’s not what you should do. No, if you wanted to do something typical or boring, you would not be reading this. So, let’s take a look at some creative ideas for an engagement celebration.

1. Throw a Backyard LUAU

If the Hawaiian atmosphere doesn’t inspire a sense of joy and happiness about both the present and the future, what does?

2. Home Cinema Experience

As cliché as it sounds, using a projector to turn your engagement celebration into a movie night is a touching and personal way to celebrate this milestone with the people you care about. You can either make a montage of your moments as a couple or, if you are handy with a video editing program, create an arty short film. By using clips and short videos you’ve collected over the time you’ve spent together, you can create a beautiful and cinematic evening.

3. Picnic Perfect

An All-American picnic is an excellent solution for people seeking out a more casual affair. Find the perfect spot, whether it’s a backyard or a national park, and get out grandma’s best picnic sets. Think bottle beer, potato salad, and pastels.

4. First Date

Do you and your partner have a sweet spot connected to your first date, whether it’s a coffee shop on the corner of the bar at the back of town, why not throw a shindig there to celebrate your new milestone? Alternatively, you could pick a spot or place that is meaningful to you both, where you first met or where you got engaged.

5. Karaoke Night

Yes, it sounds cheesy. But, if you have a fun group of people to celebrate with, then this can be a fun party. You can go out or host a karaoke night, where the songs are all corny love songs (just for the laughs), or you can keep it sentimental and include only songs that mean something to each other on the playlist.

6. Beach Bonfire

Find a beach where it is legal to have a bonfire and experience the magic of fire by the sea, enclosed by coolers of beer and wine, under a canopy of stars.

7. Forest Fairy Tale

Organize a get-together in the forest and set it up with magical décor. Use vintage-inspired pieces coupled with wreaths, flowers, and all the fairy tale magic. You can have one big table or ensure that there is comfortable seating on the ground. For the fairy tale atmosphere, ensure that you have an ample supply of tea light candles, rose petals, and vintage romance books to scatter around or use as a table centerpiece.

Whether you and your partner are sports crazy, party animals, or zen creatures of stillness, there a unique engagement party on this list with your names on it.
