Each year DH's family goes camping for a week. They take turns organizing the week. One night out of that week we get together for a "theme night". This year is our turn and we have 5 weddings in the next two years (in this family). So we thought about throwing a engagment party theme for our turn. We will have anywheres from toddlers to 50ish year olds.
I was wondering if anyone had ideas on anything from decorations to party favors to games we can play...
I am going to do gift baskets for the three couples that is there first marriages, then for the other two couples (it's there second marriage) I thought about getting them a bottle of champagne. I thought maybe those could be the prizes to give out. Like whoever wins the game we are playing picks a couple and that prize would be giving out.
This is not until July so I have lots of time to get organized, but I like to get a game play going. That way I can do a little at a time.

Sorry this is kind of long....Thanks for any ideas you can offer! :teeth:
 
The big hit of our engagement party was the candy buffet. We had a table set up with all kinds of candies in martini and wine glasses, along with little paper bags to put the candy in. I planned ahead and got the candy on sale so it didn't cost much. It was really popular and everyone loved it!!!!

What a terrific idea!!! Adults and kids alike will love this!!

My only other suggestion is don't differentiate between 1st & 2nd marriages.

I have been at engagement parties where they have given everyone a card to write down marriage advice. This could even be fun for the kids...their perceptions of marriage are sometimes hilariously funny.
 
Thanks guys! I will use both theses ideas. :banana:
