My parents have been friends with several couples for years and it's tradition that all of our families get together and celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve as a group. All of the kids are around the same age and we've gotten closer as we've gotten older and can all relate to each other. I think all of us look forward to Christmas Eve because its one of the few times we're all together. And we're all booze hounds, which always makes for an entertaining & fun night!
Three of the "Christmas Eve Kids" are getting married in the next year, and our parents decided to throw us a one big engagement party. I love this idea - the more the merrier! But because one of the couples is getting married in October, the party's going to be really soon and I'm positive the invitations for this party are going to go out before our save the dates. All of the people invited know B & I are engaged (at least I hope?) so I don't think its a big deal. But I still wonder if its "weird".
I checked with Ms. Emily Post herself and found: "Engagement parties are most often held soon after the couple becomes engaged. It's a chance for the families to announce the happy news and for relatives and friends to meet and congratulate the couple." So I think we're straight. And thank god - there's no way we could get our act together and get save the dates out in the next two weeks!
Woohoo! Looking forward to getting our party on with the Christmas Eve crew!
