Your engagement party is a time for celebration, but it’s also a time when you can be a little more relaxed with the décor, and your party can be more low-key than the wedding itself. We came up with some fun engagement party themes that will keep the celebration fun and festive.
Nautical Pre-Nuptials
Whether you’re getting married by the sea, love maritime hues, or are going in a totally different direction for your wedding, a nautical theme, for couples who enjoy it, is pretty, preppy, and oh-so-chic. Consider these items to up the style anty of your soiree.
This stylish backdrop from Paper Ramma is perfect for photo ops.
We found cocktail napkins and matches that go with our nautical theme that guests would enjoy keeping as favors, from MemorableWedding on Etsy.
Another favor option, these mints from Great Little Favor Co. make the perfect takeaway for guests.
We love this artwork that will take the nautical theme to another level, and can be used afterward in your home. Place them in the bathroom, guest room, or anywhere you like, these vintage sea life illustrations from Spotted Octopus Shop will bring back maritime memories of your engagement party.
