engagement party

Pre-wedding social gathering

An engagement party is a celebration held after a couple announces their intention to marry.

It typically occurs shortly after the proposal and before wedding planning begins in earnest, giving family and friends a first opportunity to toast the couple: Her parents hosted an engagement party at their home.
