I think engagement parties are new trend in the today’s world. I feel that you are afraid to attend this kind of parties after this experience.

That is the most bizarre thing ever! Especially since you had Pristine with you. Here an engagement party might be just for cocktails, but that would be explicit on the invitation. Since it was a dinner party, the dinner should have been served early on.

I have never heard of dinner being served so late-Usually it’s like the first thing! I don’t blame you guys for wanting to leave. I would have bribed one of the waiters to bring me something edible. Lol

Engagement parties are very common here in the US; they run the gamut from formal to very informal. Hubby and I didn’t have one since we were on a tight budget, and most of my friends didn’t have one, but it’s not uncommon at all. In the mid-20th century, it was actually the norm, and the couple was showered with monetary gifts. Usually, though, the time table is pretty set, and food is ALWAYS served in some form or other (finger food or full dinner) ON TIME. *smile*

Oy! That’s awful! I have heard of an engagement party, but usually it’s just a family event… and I’ve never been to one!
I know in the Hispanic culture they do their big partying really late at night and dinner often isn’t until 10pm… but that’s kind of expected! So sorry you didn’t know!

Hi there!
Engagement parties are pretty common here, as are bridal showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, etc. If a party starts at 7, I wouldn’t have expected a meal…just finger food and alcohol…Next time make sure you eat before!
11pm is quite late for supper, but I’ve done it before
