Hi guys, so I need your opinions. My husband and I have been invited to an engagement party in 2 weeks, the day after my first scan. There will be lots of close friends there, that we don't see regularly, so obviously this could be potentially a good time to tell people face to face. I don't want to take the attention away from the engaged couple as we're there to celebrate them.
What would you do, would you wait?

I think I would wait and tell them after KJW or maybe if I couldn't resist, if there's a lull when everyone is about to go home I suppose might quietly tell a couple of close friends at the gathering. You could use the party as a chance to invite your friends for coffees that week with the intention of telling them in person then!

The thing is these friends don't live near us, they are all traveling from different places, and we see these people maybe 2-3 times a year, so can't invite them for coffee! Will probably see them between Christmas and new year,

KJW I think I'd try and wait... but it also depends how obvious you feel it is. If it's really obvious could you tell the couple before the party... if they're close friends they may be very happy for you to announce at their party. They may also be glad to take the attention away from them for a bit.

If you can wait I like Mamuska's the idea of using it as an opportunity to invite people out for coffee** to tell them later.

KJW
When my now DH met with his close school friends for drinks/tell them we got engaged (organised by him) one of them totally trumped his news by announcing his wife was pregnant. Its a running joke now but DH did feel down about it at the time.
Personally I would wait.

Well, presumably you're not going to make a big announcement to the full party and you'll just tell your group of friends as you chat to them throughout the evening so I don't see there being an issue...Unless it's a small party in an intimate kinda setting then I'd say you're fine.

I would wait it doesn't seem right using somebody else's celebratory party to announce your own news unless you can do it on the quiet with one or two people.

Is there another way around it? How would you feel about writing them each a note to open when they got home, either telling them directly or asking them to call you asap as you have a surprise for them. Maybe check with the engaged couple if they'd be happy you handing out said notes at their party.
