Hello Bees!!! My lovely MOH and a good friend and co-worker are planning an engagement party for my fiancé and I. It will be held at my friend/co-workers beautiful home that was redone by an HGTV show and I’m very excited!! now, here comes the tricky part – I know that you should only invite people to your engagement party that you plan on inviting to the wedding. BUT,  we live on the west coast and we are having a destination wedding on the East Coast and we know that many of our local friends probably won’t be able to make it to our wedding. 

I would love to have all our local LA friends celebrate with us at our engagement party, but will it be rude to invite people that we know won’t be able to make it to the wedding? We aren’t expecting gifts or anything like that, but I also don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable!!!

I think Your invite to the engagement should say that your planning a destination wedding and understand that not everyone will be able to come but that you hope they will join you in celebrating your engagement . Their presence would be the greatest gift they could give!
