The Must-Have Engagement Party Decorations

Recently, one of my dearest Chicago friends got engaged! This was a sweet, sweet experience for so many reasons.

For one, we’ve walked alongside each other as students, co-workers, and in small group – a weekly community of local girlfriends we’ve met through church – for a handful of years now.

Secondly, Benavides Photography (aka Eric!!) had the honor of capturing the big moment, that was followed by a surprise engagement party I was able to co-plan with her amazing roomie.

Y’all, it was sooo cold outside when we were sitting up for the proposal, but I look at these pictures and have two thoughts: 1) WORTH IT, our friends are beautiful + blissful, and 2) E is so talented!

It was so exciting to celebrate the happy couple! We got compliments on the cute decor, so I’m sharing our must-have engagement party decorations (+ a few extra!) that quickly arrived from Amazon – thankfully saving us a shopping trip in this crazy Chicago winter!
