Mahasti's granddaughter's engagement party

Is it normal to have an engagement party?

While some couples choose not to have an engagement party, they are very common—especially with engagements lasting longer than one year. Couples planning a destination wedding, or planning an engagement longer than 18 months typically throw a more formal party. If it’s going to be a while until you start celebrating the wedding, by all means, don’t hesitate to celebrate your engagement.
