Celebrating your recent engagement with a party for family and friends? Order temporary tattoos for the party. Classic heart or love-themed tattoos will work, or you can create custom tattoos with your names, or with imagery that illustrates how you first met, or how your soon-to-be husband or wife proposed. 

For example, if your fiancee proposed on top of the Eiffel Tower, then a custom Eiffel Tower tattoo with the proposal date or your initials on it would be a great accessory for the engagement party.
