What to know

Set the tone and the guest list

A casual cookout and a cocktail party call for different vendors and venues. Decide the vibe and a rough headcount, and put them in your post so proposals match what you're picturing.

Book a bar service for ease

A professional bartender or mixologist keeps drinks flowing and the party relaxed, at home or at a venue. Note whether you need bar service in your post and compare packages.

Get a photographer for the moment

It's the first celebration as an engaged couple and often the debut of the news — worth a photographer, even for an hour. Post the date and coverage you want and compare proposals.
