Engagement Party

Well after MANY MANY hours of discussion we've finally come to the conclusion that as two-thirds of the engagement party attendees are aged 45+ that having a park/club themed party is out of the question. We are both adament about having an interactive party, as really if we just want people to eat then we'd rather not have a party. Final conclusion - we're going to have the engagement party at Grape Beginnings. We're still working out the monetary details and the type, etc. But what this allows is a small party for the family & wedding party to meet, an activity for everyone to partake in, and the parting gift, wine for the wedding itself! We're both very happy and very excited. We do however have to complete this activity ASAP in order to obtain this wine by September of 2009. Since my entire party (john, laura & danny) are all out-of-towners and of course people are busy busy busy in May (when the grapes come in) we're actually going to have the party January 24th. And this will be the final stage (prior to actually drinking the wine) - the bottling. It's the activity that requires the most amount of help and it should be a lot of fun. I hope that the weather will be decent that weekend, but its the only weekend that my godparents are in town and right before my parents embark on another one of there trips
