Do you bring a present to an engagement party?

A friend of mine is having an engagement party and i've never been to one before. Am I supposed to bring a present? The invitation doesn't say not to.

If I have to buy one, what should I buy? They've already been living together for years now so I have no idea what to get them. Asked by CAhypergirl 43 months ago Similar questions: bring present engagement party Lifestyle > Weddings.

I have never gone to an engagement party but......... I do Bridal Registries as a career and even thought couples register for upcoming showers and weddings (only those who do not request presentation only on their invitations) some do register in for an engagement party. It all depends on certain cultures as to whether or not they choose to have engagement parties. It does not hurt to get a little something to congratulate the couple on their engagment but I would not go overboard with it because you will probably spend enough already on the shower gift and the wedding gift.

Engagement parties A gift isn’t required. Here’s a website that talks about engagement party etiquette. The exception is if the party is being thrown by the couple in their homes; then, you should bring a courtesy gift for the hosts - just like you would for a dinner party or anything else.

Really, it would have been presumptuous of them to mention gifts on the invitations - the assumption would have been that they were so sure they're worthy of being buried under a mountain of presents, they have to head things off at the pass. Gifts aren't supposed to be given out of obligation (even though they often are), so they did the right thing in letting guests come to their own conclusions. If you're close to the couple, though, I probably would give them a small gift.

You could give them a bottle of wine, or a gift certificate to a nice restaurant, or stop by a bakery before the party and get an assortment of muffins and scones and pop them into a gift basket. If you get them food or wine, just be sure to let them know they don't have to break into the gift right there and share. "These are for breakfast tomorrow," or, "here's a bottle of wine for when you two have some alone time."

Regardless, get them a card and write something personal in there about how happy you are for them. Have fun at the party!

1 IMHO, it's a nice gesture to bring a gift, even if no one else does. Do they drink wine? A nice bottle of wine is appropriate for such an occassion.

Or, maybe a gift card to a nice restaurant to celebrate their engagement? .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
