A woman says she's been left fed up after repeatedly having to buy her own drinks at engagement parties, and says couples should only bother hosting one if they can actually afford it.
According to this woman, she's attended two engagement parties recently, neither of which left her impressed. Both of these parties were held in pub function rooms with a minimum spend, where those invited were expected to buy their own drinks to "make up the number".
Although she doesn't necessarily believe the newlyweds-to-be should splash out on an unlimited bar tab, she says she would have "at least put on a few platters and provide a welcome drink" if it was her getting engaged.
