How to welcome fiancé who is moving internationally to me :)

[LDR]

Hi all,

I posted this in 'Closing the Distance' forum but also wanted your opinions if possible

We are currently in the process of a Prospective Marriage visa being approved for my fiancé! Hopefully we are around 3 months away from his approval date and I am so ridiculously excited! It will be 3 years long distance by the time he gets here, and because he has only met most of my family and friends on Skype I wanted to organise a welcome party/ engagement party for when he arrives so he has the chance to meet everyone here. All my family and friends have supported us from day 1 so they are all so excited to meet him.

Did anyone who closed the distance on an international relationship have a big welcome party/celebration? How soon would you recommend doing this after he arrives?

Or do you think an engagement party/welcome party would be better?

What did you do for you SO to welcome them into your family/life??
