Is it necessary to have an engagement party when both families live on the opposite side of the state?

My fiance and I just got engaged this past weekend. His family lives on the east side of the state while mine lives on the west side of the state; we live southeast of the state. Is it necessary to have 1 big party or have 2 separate parties since it would be hard for the families to meet at one place at one time? We are also not getting married for a few years anyways. New to all this please help!!!



Thanks!Is it necessary to have an engagement party when both families live on the opposite side of the state?
The point of an engagement party is for the two families to meet and get to know each other basically so they would both need to be there.



That being said, engagement parties are not requirements...they're never necessary. If you don't think parents and siblings; aunts, uncles, cousins etc can make it...don't have a party. You can always invite the parents over sometime for dinner and allow them to meet that way. So much easier and less expensive than planning a party.
It's never necessary to have an engagement party. Most people don't have them at all. The purpose of them is for the parents to formally announce the engagement and for families/friends meet each other. If you are not going to be actively planning a wedding for a few years, there really is no point in a party anyway.Is it necessary to have an engagement party when both families live on the opposite side of the state?
it's never necessary to have an engagement party. besides my own, I've only ever been to one other but I've been to about 25 weddings. so I guess most people don't bother. you could just go to dinner with each set of parents sometime soon and leave it at that. I say there are too many wedding events as it is where guests need to bring you gifts- the shower, bachelorette and bachelor party.
Not at all. We didn't have one, and we're in a very similar situation. My parents live relatively close to my husband and I, but his parents are about 1200km north of us.



Instead, we arranged a lunch the day before the wedding. My mum and stepdad weren't able to come, but my dad and grandma were able to meet his parents.Is it necessary to have an engagement party when both families live on the opposite side of the state?
There is no reason for an engagement party. It is another way for greedy couples to get more presents and money. And you may never get married. I give only one gift to anyone getting married. A shower gift or a wedding gift. I see more and more people doing the same.
Engagement parties aren't necessary at all. If a family wants to host one for you, that's nice, but it's not thought of in teh same way a reception is.
An engagement party is never "necessary" even if both families lived in the exact same city/town. An engagement party is always an optional party as is a bridal shower.
An engagement party is never necessary. Since it sounds like it would be a burden for people to travel, you can certainly skip having one.
No, actually, an engagement party is never necessary.

What is a good somewhat low priced restaurant in Houston, TX for a group meeting set up?

I live in the Uptown Park/Galleria vicinity so somewhere in that ballpark would be preferable. I would need a place that has big tables in the back for 8 to 10 people but not a LOUD restaurant. Help please? Also with a full bar!What is a good somewhat low priced restaurant in Houston, TX for a group meeting set up?
I don't know any that will have a back room for only 8 - 10 people. Most save their rooms for larger groups. So you would have people all around while you have the meeting anyway.



I know this might not be what you want, but have your considered Beck's Prime off Westheimer? The prices are reasonable, menu is varied, they serve wine %26amp; beer and the place is usually not loud.



I've seen several groups meeting in there in the past few months.



EDIT: Well, then! Let us know what you find. Hope it works out...What is a good somewhat low priced restaurant in Houston, TX for a group meeting set up?
You're going to have a hard time finding a low priced establishment with waiters and a full bar in that particular area of the city. But, try to look for an Italian chain restaurant, like Carraba's. This would be your best bet.

Maybe Maggiano's? Most of the restaurants with a full bar are going to be a bit loud. Ask for a private room.

Does anybody live in New York And likes yugioh and we can meet and duel?

u live in new york and wana meet and duelDoes anybody live in New York And likes yugioh and we can meet and duel?
Its not exactly safe to ask that kind of question online. The official Yu-Gi-Oh! website lists places in New York where you can go to tournaments.



http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/tou鈥?/a>



Good luck and stay safe!



EDIT: Okay, then you can also go to a comic book store near you that might have Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments. If your classmates like Yu-Gi-Oh! (if your classmates do like Yu-Gi-Oh!, you're so lucky. My classmates hate or pretend to hate Yu-Gi-Oh!) you could challenge them to a duel. You could also get a Yu-Gi-Oh! videogame.



Good luck!



EDIT: I can't use MSN, videochat, or anything. I can only duel though the comments in this same question or another question on Yahoo Answers.

What if your live in love went out to evening coffee with a female friend?

Now, granted, there may be nothing there. But, what if it turns out he met this woman months ago, never told you about her, and avoided telling you who he was meeting with that evening? Then, when he told you who he met with after the coffee was over, he made it seem like you didn't trust him enough, since you required information ahead of time? That you weren't giving him enough freedom? Say it's all professional, shouldn't he still have mentioned something? What if your live in love went out to evening coffee with a female friend?
If you are living together he should have told you about it before he went out. This all seems to have a air of secrecy about it. You say " he made it seem like you didn't trust him enough". That is often a ploy used by cheaters to put the blame on the innocent party saying there is no trust. Hon, I am sorry, but the fact that you are asking this forum the question says that in your heart of hearts you know the answer.What if your live in love went out to evening coffee with a female friend?
Yes He Should Have Told You. There Might Not Be Nothing There But A Crush But.. He Should Have Told You Or Brought You With Him. I Would Be Really Upset If My Finace' Did ThatWhat if your live in love went out to evening coffee with a female friend?
You've answered your own question. He was being furtive and defensive. Those aren't good signs.

I found suspicious text messages in my boyfriend cell phone about sex and meeting up, What should I do?

We been together for 8 years with 2 children together and 1 from a previous relationship.

We live together, not married yet.I found suspicious text messages in my boyfriend cell phone about sex and meeting up, What should I do?
try to talk it out with him, try to get the point you may be wrong but before that checks your relationship, do you guys live the life you aspired to 8 years ago?
Talk to him? Thats how relationships work, you talk with your partner. Sure it wont put a smile on his face but its the only way you will truly know whats up. You need to be comfortable talking, if you dont want to, its going to drive a wedge between you both and your lack of trust is going to drive you insane whenever he goes out. When you talk to him just ask calmy, if he says theres nothing up then he is obviously lying. You need to rethink things with him. Work on the communication because theres a strong chance he's cheating and the fact that you went through his msgs shows your lack of trust in him. You need to talk about how you both feel and what you want. If you wont, how on earth are you going to have a healthy relationship? Think in the long run. If you ignore it, you still wont trust him will you?I found suspicious text messages in my boyfriend cell phone about sex and meeting up, What should I do?

Confront him. After that realise that you shouldn't snoop through other peoples phones.
Confront him! Doesn't sound too good to me!



Be prepared he's cheating.
