Engagement Party Details


Welcome to our wedding blog!  On this blog/website, you should be able to find most of the information you need for the up-coming Engagement Party on Saturday, April 16, 2016, in Ann Arbor, MI.  I know that some of you have probably already checked this site out (special shout-out to Bill, Steve, Paul, Cheri and Sandy!! Woot woot!) and are probably already familiar with this site/blog; but, if you have not been to this website before, then this blog post and the tab at the top titled “Other Parties” should contain all the information and details you need for the party. 
Just for a little bit of background, we created the Engagement Party as a fun and informal way to celebrate with our co-workers and my family in Michigan (…and, because Mom wanted excuse to party. Hahaha).  We probably could have been more creative with the name since Chip and I have been engaged for about eight (8) months now…but who really cares as long as there’s a party, right?! lol!

If you received this invitation, you probably already got “the run down.” But in case you have not received “the run down” ;), then here it is (also, for more details see photos and comments below):

The family had a small Champagne tasting party at Mom’s house (Yay!!!)) to choose the champagne (see photo above) ...and below is the aftermath... Hahaha:
We chose Martini & Rossi Asti and R.S.V.P. Brut. 

The beer we will have is shown in the photo above. There will also be Sam Adams Cold Snap bottles (not shown above).

 Hor d’oeuvre notes from the caterer with love... 😍 YUM!!

Chapel Hill: The venue is Ok, but has sentimental value as so many friends and family events have taken place here…it has a special place in our hearts.

We are REALLY looking forward to celebrating, partying and hanging out with everyone!!  See you there!! 😃😃😃
