20. Citronella Candles

Citronella candles seamlessly blend into any decor theme, providing both beauty and function while adding a cosy and inviting touch to your party. Since mosquitoes don’t like citronella oil, these candles are a useful way to keep flies away. Besides, they add a beautiful touch to your rustic engagement party theme.

21. Outdoor String Lights

Outdoor string lights are a must-have for creating a magical atmosphere at your engagement party. The types of lamps you use for the string lights will depend on your special preferences. You may use globe lights if you want something more suitable for a barn setting, or vintage bulbs to give a classic look.

Your engagement party is the perfect opportunity to celebrate your love story with family and friends, and with the right decorations, you can create a truly unforgettable atmosphere. With these ideas in hand, you're ready to create an engagement party that will be cherished and remembered forever.
