Mr. Heb and I with Mama Heb and Mr. Heb's dad, mom and sister the night before the party
Our friends has thrown us an unexpected engagement celebration and our Syracuse engagement party was wonderful - full of dancing, food, and love from our community here in Syracuse. However, due to the fact that Syracuse is quite far from where both of our families live (Metro NY area and South Jersey), only a handful of out of town friends could come, and non of our parents' friends.
Mr. Heb's parents finished renovating their house in beautiful Cape May, NJ in the spring, and wanted to throw us an engagement party over the summer. Who were we to say no to a party in our honor?!
The party was so much fun - with more delicious food, friends and family, even a trolley tour of Cape May, and of course relaxing on the beach. Once again, the pictures can do a much better job of setting the scene than I can, please enjoy! (All pictures are personal photos).

Something I have learned from all these engagement parties, is that celebrating your engagement really can come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Each party was totally different, but definitely wonderful and I loved each in its own way.
How long was your engagement? Did you have many celebrations before the wedding?
