4 Ways to Celebrate Before the Big Day

Congrats on saying “yes”, now get ready for a whirlwind of well-wishing events. From your engagement party to the final single hurrah, getting engaged is the start of a season of celebrating.

Here’s your guide to some of the most popular pre-wedding events and how Avery can help make them memorable!

The Engagement Party

This party is the big kickoff! You’re celebrating (or maybe even announcing) your recent engagement to the world. Traditionally, this event has been the time to begin forming the bond between both sides of your growing family. When choosing an Engagement Party theme for invitations, address labels and other items, consider something that feels inviting and warm. Here are a few templates to consider:

Exotic Garden - Thank You Agate – Save the Date

The Wedding Party Proposal

While not officially a party, the wedding party proposal has certainly become an event! Gone are the days when a simple “do you want to be a bridesmaid” over the phone was enough. Now, the wedding party proposal is nearly as big of a deal as the marriage proposal itself. To make it special, many brides and grooms-to-be are filling gift boxes with personalized bottles of champagne, candles and treats.
Planning a wedding party proposal gift? You may want to consider a few of these templates for DIY personalized items:

Gold Lights – Completely Sweet – Big Floral

The Stag and Doe

Call it a stag and doe, buck and doe, or even a Dosey Doe, in many communities throughout Canada, this pre-wedding fundraiser is a must have. Unlike most other pre-wedding events, the stag and doe extends beyond only inviting people who would be invited to the wedding. In fact, since tickets are sold for this event, it isn’t uncommon to host guests who don’t know the couple at all.
Consider a few of these stag and doe templates when creating tickets and other essentials for the event:

Rustic – Basketball Dunk

Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

Whether your last single hurrah will be a wild weekend away or a casual dinner out with your besties, make the most of it. Since the tone of bachelor/bachelorette parties can vary dramatically depending upon the people involved, it’s important to clearly manage expectation with an invitation that accurately reflects what the event will entail. Here are some examples of Bachelor and Bachelorette party themes that can be personalized via our Design & Print online tool.
