Introduction
Did You Know That I Love You?
Well, I do! You see, after writing eight wedding-related books and conducting countless wedding seminars, I have developed a real love and compassion for all of you brides and grooms out there who are trying to plan the most important day of your lives. Although I've never met you personally, I feel as if I know you. I empathize with you as you struggle with the decisions that must be made, from your engagement ring to your reception theme to your honeymoon plans. I know you have hundreds of questions and I hope you'll find the answers here. God bless you as you plan. This book has been written with my sincere love and best wishes that you will have the best wedding ever.
YOUR FRIEND,
DIANE WARNER

Chapter 1
The Engagement Period
How does an engagement party differ from a shower? Are gifts expected?
An
engagement party
is a party given in honor of the newly engaged couple; it may be formal or informal. Often, when it is hosted by the bride's parents, it is a formal sitdown dinner where the couple is toasted and lavished with love and congratulations on their engagement. Gifts may or may not be given at this type of formal occasion, but if they are, they are often family heirlooms that are being passed down. Or it can be a very informal party hosted by peers of the couple, and gifts may or may not be given in this case as well; however, if gifts are part of the celebration, the party usually becomes more of a co-ed
shower
