If the wedding isn't until next summer, then I wouldn't be very concerned. There is SO much time still. We picked our location about 11 months before the wedding and didn't figure out who our full wedding party would be until about 9-10 months before. We sent out save the date cards about 7 months before the wedding.
So the bride and groom just might not have all the answers you seek yet. I think it would completely reasonable for you to ask then if they have picked a date yet so you can make sure you save it. But again, there's plenty of time still so I wouldn't be too concerned. :)
H216SCRF,
Thanks for the advise. I'm still a bit concerned because of the way the engagement party was handled, but I'll wait a while before I ask the bride and groom any more questions.
Is it possible that type of engagement party is all the couple or whoever was hosting could afford? Renting out restaurants and providing drinks for everyone can be very expensive. Maybe they still wanted to celebrate their engagement with family and friends. I think you're being a little harsh about the party. Also if the wedding is next summer it's normal to not have all the details planned yet.
I think maybe formal invitations were a little much for an informal kind of party at a wine bar, but other than that, I would just wait to start worrying about the other stuff and see how things pan out. It isn't your wedding, so let them handle spreading the news and keeping you informed. If they drop the ball and you can't plan accordingly, it's on them, not you.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Several months ago, my best friend from college told me that he was engaged, and that he wanted me to be in his wedding party, and plan his bachelors' party. About two weeks ago, I received a formal invitation to an engagement party at a wine bar. When I got to the wine bar, I found out that they really hadn't rented out the place (i.e., there were other patrons there), very little food was provided, and I had to pay for my own drinks. Is this normal? This is the only engagement party that I have been to, but this doesn't seem right?
My other problem is that I cannot get any real information from the bride or groom regarding the location and date of the wedding, and who else is in the wedding party. The only thing that I know is that the wedding is sometime next summer somewhere in Massachusetts. Am I just paranoid, or does this wedding sound like a fiasco waiting to happen?
