When getting married, how to arrange and decorate the engagement party?

The wedding customs in China are similar, and engagement ceremonies are held in most areas. In ancient times, engagement was mostly held in the man's home, in the form of entertaining guests. In modern society, engagement parties are mostly held in hotels, and relatives and friends of both parties get together to witness the engagement of the couple. In the whole engagement process, the banquet is very important, which directly determines the quality of the whole engagement party and should not be underestimated.

First of all, the timing of the engagement party: According to the traditional marriage custom in China, it is very important to choose a good day for marriage and engagement. Some people will ask fortune tellers to predict the engagement date. Modern young people pay attention to romance, and also choose to get engaged on Valentine's Day, Tanabata and May 20th. If there is a fortune teller to predict the engagement date, there will not be too many people together. But if it's romantic, you will often get engaged and get married. Therefore, it is best to book the banquet of the engagement party early, especially in some popular hotels, which should be booked long in advance, otherwise it is very likely that it will not be booked.

Secondly, the menu choice of the engagement party: the engagement party is very particular. Generally, you can choose the package provided by the hotel or order your own food. Some hotels provide the service of changing individual dishes in the package, which is also very insufficient. The number of plates must be even, which means yes. You can choose eight, ten or twelve dishes. In addition, we should also pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetable collocation, hot and cold collocation and dry and wet collocation. The ingredients should be fresh, try to choose seasonal vegetables, and choose less dry or frozen ingredients. Especially picky friends should also pay attention to the names of dishes. Generally speaking, celery, lily, fish, tofu and Four Joy Meetballs are traditional dishes.

Third, the room arrangement of the engagement party: When ordering the banquet, it is best to indicate which hall it is on the order form. The size of the banquet hall should be combined with the number of guests, and two or three tables should be reserved as far as possible to prevent guests from bringing children or family members. In addition, it's best to book an extra room and arrange for people in need to rest. In many places, engagement parties will invite more guests. Some elderly people, or relatives and friends with special circumstances, such as relatives who have not seen each other for years, can rest in the lounge first.

Then, arrange the location of the engagement party. Very few engagement parties only require the host family to have seats, and there is no seat requirement for other guests. In order to avoid being in a hurry or unable to sit at the party, the guests' seats can also be arranged in advance. Especially when there is disharmony between relatives and friends, we should pay more attention to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

In addition, there are many details to be paid attention to in the engagement party, such as the geographical location of the selected hotel, the number of parking spaces, and the convenience of transportation. On the day of the engagement party, the attendance rate of guests should not only avoid the embarrassment of too many people and not enough seats, but also try to avoid waste. Remember to ask for an invoice when booking a hotel. Before the engagement party begins, it is best to reconfirm the banquet with the hotel two days in advance. In addition, you need to ask the hotel if there is any extra bottle opening fee and service fee.
