Before the bachelor parties, the bridal shower, and the wedding, many couples like to celebrate their pre-married life with an engagement party. As a New York Event Planner, I love getting Engagement Party inquiries because there are so many choices for New York couples. Here is a recent brainstorm I did for a couple who is looking to have a party with all their friends (50-100 of them) this summer in New York.
Chic & Swank

Summer in the City
Party will take place within the months of May-September

Loft Party
Blank canvas space with a modern touch and party atmosphere
Cocktails and Passed Hor Dourves, DJ or band
Typical Spots: the many available Manhattan lofts for rent with great views and open space
Typical Drink: Specialty Drink
Overall Feeling: modern, private, fresh, special
Game Night
Kareoke, Pool, Trivia Games, Billards, live bands, things to keep the group busy and having fun
Typical Spots: Bars & Pubs with things to do other than drink
Typical Drink: A Cold Bud Light
Overall Feeling: laid back, casual, fun, quirky
