Damask Engagement Party Using Simple Ideas with High Impact

Anne Wright
Planning a damask engagement party is easy if you use simple ideas with high impact. You'll get enough stress staging your damask wedding so take a break with these impressive but simple ideas.

Toasting Glasses for your Damask Engagement Party:

The toast is such an emotional moment of your engagement party. If you're traditional, give damask wine glasses to the bride's father and the future groom. Get extra pairs if more loved ones will participate. For this simple idea, use DIY stencils or get some lovely pairs on Etsy. You may also be able to use them as decorations at your damask wedding.

Cupcake Wrappers for your Damask Engagement Party:

If this is your first wedding, you may experience sticker shock at cake prices. For now, get a fun and cheaper touch serving cupcakes in damask wrappers. They can also serve as your centerpiece. This set of 50 for $50 offers many color and pattern options.

Lip Balm Favors for your Damask Engagement Party:

It's not necessary to bring gifts for an engagement party, but many guests will bestow tokens of affection. It's nice to reciprocate with small favors for everybody, and these damask lip balms are practical too. There's going to be a lot of kissing so make sure all those lips are smooth. They're just $2.49 each.

Tablecloth for your Damask Engagement Party:

Food winds up being the focal point of most gatherings. A damask tablecloth will emphasize the theme of your damask wedding without having to shop for a lot of one time decorations that you might not even want for future use. Plus, if people mill around the buffet table all night, it will be easy to capture some damask in your guest photos. Monitor sites like Overstock.com, and you should be able to get something nice for 50% off or more.

Room Divider Photo Backdrop for your Damask Engagement Party:

A room divider is a lot cheaper than getting damask drapes and it will give you an ideal backdrop for your special photos such as toasts and speeches. It's worth the investment because it will probably come in handy for your damask wedding as well. For this simple idea, you can let your wedding planner know if you want an expensive piece or try this version at Amazon for just $99. You can also get at least one madcap photo of the bride with this damask bow and skull headpiece from Etsy.
