Hi Ya'll,
When having an engagement party who all should be invited???
Should it be those who are going to be invited to the wedding only? or could i invite ppl that will not be invited to the wedding due to budget limitations???
Thanks

You could do either/or.  It's basically just who you want to invite and what you can fit in your budget.  Of course, people who are invited to the engagement party are going to be expecting an invitation to the actual wedding, so you'll want to keep that in mind.

Verdette is right! unless you have a understanding with some of your guest!

I would personally be offended if I attended an engagement party (which oftentimes includes gifts) and wasn't invited to the wedding.  I would think, "I must not be important enough to be there on your most important day" kwim?  I'm sure modern times says this is fine but I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to some stuff.  I only invited our family and wedding party in order to keep it under budget.

I agree with TheBlueBride.
