It's a great excuse to get an engagement party dress, something that makes you feel beautiful and excited to put it on. Since you're getting married, we usually like the idea of wearing a white engagement dress, but again, it's your party, so you can wear whatever you like; we also found blue and black dresses that would make perfect picks.
