1. Show up
with smiles, mucho congratulations, and a camera.
2. Tail
party guests with said camera, snapping candids, group shots, and
capturing party decoration details.
3. Print
pictures, assemble into an album, and mail to the future bride and groom.
My cousin Pam
did this for Mr. B and I at our engagement party, and I was so, so
happy when I received the album in the mail! I am a person who photographs everything I
do, but obviously there was no time to hang out behind the lens at my
own party. I was bummed about not getting enough pictures, so it was awesome to realize that someone else had taken care of this for us. Plus, she included a CD of the pictures too, so we could print some out on our own as well.
My best
friend, BM Kelly, is having an engagement party at the end of October, and I
will definitely pull a Pam and act as party paparazzi.
What thoughtful things did people surprise you with for your engagement?
PS: Posting could be erratic this week, Hurricane Irene is set to pummel my state in a matter of hours (eek) and I have no idea what the power/Internet/other situation will look like afterward. Hope anyone in its path stays safe this weekend!!!
Oh wow that was so awesome of your aunt to capture your whole night at the party, and even better that she created a book for you, that is so sweet and awesome!
