Getting engaged is a special experience, especially when it happens in Vegas and you get to party in the city after! After popping the big question, celebrations are in order. You’re going big by taking the next step in your relationship, so why not celebrate in one of the most fun places in the world? Las Vegas engagement party planning is a great option for any couple, as you have almost everything at your fingertips, from incredible restaurants and bars to beautiful venues. Use these tips to plan an incredible engagement party in the city.

 

Step 1: Get Engaged

 

This is an obvious first step, but it has to be said! Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments in life. If you’re considering hosting your engagement party in Las Vegas, why not get engaged here too? There are so many incredible spots to pop the question, whether you want to propose in the desert at a place like Seven Magic Mountains or in the city at a place like Legacy Club rooftop bar, where you can propose overlooking the lights of Las Vegas and the beautiful surroundings of the valley. Whatever you do, be sure to have a champagne toast and photographer ready to celebrate this beautiful time.

If you are planning to throw your engagement party the same day as you propose to surprise your significant other, move this step to #6 and secretly plan to do all the following steps a few months in advance before proposing!

 

Step 2: Check the Calendar

 

Congratulations on your big news! Engagement parties are most commonly held within the first few months of engagement, so it’s best to start planning as soon as possible. Especially if your engagement party in Vegas is a big destination for the loved ones you want to attend, you will want to make sure everyone has enough time to plan. Check your calendars to see when it works best for you, and reach out to any must-have guests to see if it works for their calendars as well. Keep in mind that holiday weekends can be great for extra time off of work, but they can also make plans harder to book with more people in town.

 

 

Step 3: Make Your Guest List

 

Once you’ve chosen a date that works for you, put together your guest list. You probably already have a few must-have guests that you may have already reached out to help pick a date, but now it’s time to think about who else you would like to celebrate this momentous occasion with. It might seem tempting to invite all your friends and family, but you’ll want to take into consideration party size and ability for your guests to travel. Party size helps determine your venue and engagement party itinerary, so make your guest list and plan the following details accordingly. Send out invitations and get RSVPs as soon as you can so you and your guests can start planning!

 

Step 4: Choose a Venue

 

Now that you have your guest list established, you should have a pretty good idea of how many people will be attending. If you have a fairly large group, you might want a larger event space that will fit everyone. Smaller, more intimate parties may have more options more easily available, as you can book tables or sections of venues to fit everyone. Deciding what type of engagement party you want will also guide your venue choice. A dinner party at Barry’s Downtown Prime, celebrating at Legacy Club’s rooftop bar, or even forgoing a venue all together and doing a group bar crawl through Downtown Las Vegas could all be great options depending on your style and party size.

 

 

Step 5: Hire a Photographer

 

This isn’t a necessary step in Las Vegas engagement party planning, but having a photographer can be a great addition to your celebrations to have some wonderful mementos of the day. If you are hosting your party at a venue that has engagement party packages, check to see if an on-site photographer is included. If not, look into local photographers who are available on your chosen date, you can find some by checking places like Yelp or Instagram to get an idea of their work. A professional photographer also isn’t needed! If you have a friend or a few friends on duty to snap some pics throughout the party, your memories will be just as special.

 

Step 6: Book a Room

 

Last but not least, the last thing you should plan is where you’ll be staying. As the newly-engaged couple, treating yourself to a suite with your sweetheart is the perfect way to end your engagement party. You can’t go wrong with any of the rooms or suites at Circa Las Vegas, but the Panoramic Sunset Suite is one of the best views you can find in the city. You can even host a little engagement after party in your living room with panoramic views of the city. To make any room special at Circa, you can book romantic room décor and amenities from the concierge such as tea lights, rose petals, balloons, chocolates, and chilled champagne to make your night even more special.

 

No matter what you choose to do to celebrate your proposal, it is sure to be a magical experience. Whether an intimate gathering or a big party, your Las Vegas engagement party will be filled with memories as you have the time of your life. And after your engagement party, why not start planning your Las Vegas wedding too!?
