Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
People always talk about weddings, weddings, weddings…. What about your engagement party? Your fiancé popped the question and you said a massive ‘Yes, I will!!!’ Your wedding will be held next year, you haven’t chosen the date yet… but it’s already time to celebrate!
Once your engagement news comes out, everyone will want to congratulate you and an engagement party will sound perfect! I’m pretty sure a few questions about the planning of your engagement party are probably swirling around your brain. Read on to find out everything you need to know about planning the flawless engagement party…
When having your engagement party?
Generally, the engagement party falls within a few months of the proposal, that moment in your life you’re just-engaged and you start thinking about the Wedding planning. In case you’re going to have your engagement party on Amalfi Coast, the beginning of September or the Spring season are without a shadow of doubt the best periods.
Who throws the party?
Traditionally, Bride’s parents are expected to host the first official celebration, but you don’t necessarily have to follow the rules. Nowadays, anyone can throw the engagement party and you can throw your own party… your parents, friends and relatives may join the party just as guests. It’s really up to you!
Where should it take place?
Regarding the location of your engagement party, you may decide to have your party in your own city or hold it in the country you may choose for your destination wedding. It is also true that many couples celebrate with different engagement parties because their friends and family are spread all over the World, so you could celebrate in two different places! You just need to think about the vibe you want to create: a more elegant and original setting or a casual and informal one? For example, our Coast boasts a huge variety of hotel terraces or private beaches where you can hold your unforgettable party.
Need to send invitations?
You or whoever is going to throw the party should send official engagement party invitations. Go for plain and informal paper invitations or even opt for digital invites. And don’t worry if you haven’t chosen your wedding color palette or even your wedding date, the engagement party invitations don’t have to match with the rest of your stationery.
Who should be invited?
Following the rules, everyone who will be invited to your engagement party must be invited to your Wedding too. By the way, engagement party guest list expectations have changed! Engagement parties can definitely include people who aren’t invited to the wedding, so feel free to invite all the people you want to share the big news with or whoever you want to have at your side. For a destination engagement party, I suggest you invite just a few people!
What about decorations?
Don’t rush into choosing your wedding colors or theme so that your engagement party can match with details, themes and decors: candlelight, balloons, confetti and floral arrangements are always the best choice!
In short, an engagement party is a great way to share the exciting news and get family and friends together to celebrate… Why not celebrate it on Amalfi Coast?
I’m waiting for you!

- Slight Hints of Color : yes white, but with a bit of sophisticated colors.
- Raised Hemlines : green light to mini dresses, more practical and suited for short women.
- Body-Hugging Silhouettes: a must not for all.
- Trousers: because the sexual revolution is finally complete.
- Deconstructed dressing: a huge uplift in requests for cool separates to change up their look from day to night with minimal effort.

The taste of Easter on the Amalfi Coast
The spring season has arrived and with it also the rays of the warm sun, blooms and Easter holidays. In every corner of the World, Easter has its ancient traditions and rituals and on Amalfi Coast the tradition becomes an explosion of flavors, scents and conviviality to live in the warmth of your own home. Here, in Italy, Easter festivities are preceded by a long Lenten season, a time of renunciation and prayer… and Easter becomes a symbol of liberation to be celebrated. The best way to celebrate is gathering together at the table and discovering the culinary tradition of our Coast rich in ancient dishes and treats. Ready to find out more about the culinary tradition of our Coast?
First of all, the most wished dish of all is the ‘Tortano’, a savory bread typical throughout the Region and handed down by tradition. It’s a sort of a plum cake and is covered with salted bacon, filled with pepper, local cured meats, cheese and eggs – the mixture of cured meat and cheese varies from recipe to recipe – it must be eaten really hot to enjoy its flavor to the fullest. In line with the Easter coastal tradition, the second main dish is doubtless the roasted lamb, also said ‘O Beneritto – translated as ‘The Blessed’ – so called for the bay leaves added during its preparation and for its religious connection. After all, lambs and goats, were brought as gift by the settlers to owners on the occasion of Easter Holidays and this ritual turned this dish into a timeless culinary tradition during the Easter holidays to local families.
Every dish served on the tables of our Coast is always accompanied by delicious wines that this land boasts. In fact, between terraces and pergolas, are being produced some of the most world-renowned wines of the Divine and not only, such as the white wine ‘Ginestra’, a typical grape variety of the areas of Amalfi, Maiori, Minori, Scala and Ravello named after the characteristic scent of broom; the ‘Ripolo’, a white wine farmed solely in this area; moreover the historical vineyard ‘Piedirosso’, named after the red of the stems of the grapes, which recall the legs of pigeons and finally the Tintore, a red wine typical of the hills of Tramonti. Just some of the broad variety of wines of the Divine to taste! When it comes to sweet, in a real easter lunch cannot miss the famous ‘Pastiera’, a typical cheesecake, rich in ingredients, but with a delicate taste. In ancient times, housewives made it in great quantities during the days before Easter, this tradition has been left unchanged over time. In fact, the preparation of the ‘Pastiera’ begins during the days before Easter even nowadays, the flavor of candied fruit, wheat berries and citrus is a real treat for the palate. And as all around the World, here too there is the tradition of chocolate eggs: an exchange of gifts, surprises for kids and a symbol of rebirth that is about to arrive!
Well, it’s time to lay your tables with pastel-coloured tablecloths, tulips and lots of tasty food to celebrate Easter in any part of the World with LOVE.
The beauty and tradition of our Coast are waiting for you!
