How much would you spend. . .

My BFF (she was my MOH) is having an engagement party on the 13th and I have not ever attended an engagement party. They have registered for a bunch of stuff so I presume it's a gift giving occasion, but how much is normal to spend on a close friend when you'll be attending the shower and likely in the wedding? She hasn't asked me officially but I assume so since she was my MOH.

Help!

I'd say $50. That's about what people spent for our engagement party and I was more than grateful. Some of my close friends went in together for a gift and probably spent like $10 a piece, but they had to travel for the occasion and I was just happy they were there!

I agree around $50.  When we had our engagement/housewarming party, we received a gift from one of Shaun's friends for $50.  It was very unexpected and nice.

In my group of friends, $50 has been the going rate too...we usually pool it for a big amount giftcard to the store she's registered.

I think this is far Engagement Party $50, Bridal Shower $80 and Wedding $100.00 If she is a good friend to you and you have the money to give then $200.00 for the Wedding.

I think it also varies a lot depending on the area NYC area the number is usually a bit higher but I agree $50 is a good number.
