WR: Gifts?

angrybeavers

A friend of mine is getting married in May - this will be the first wedding I've been to since i was a child (excluding my Sister's where I didn't follow protocol).

 They're having a "beer and wine tasting party" hosted by someone else.

Am I supposed to take a present to this? Is this their engagement party?
It's a coworker and he hasn't been in at the same time as me since I got it to ask him!

Bwahaha, I wanted to go to TK to do some research and immediately after I clicked on TK it sent me back to the TN and was like "hey now that you're married, you might like TN better"

Can you email him? 

 

I would assume it's a separate party but I dunno..I never had an engagement party nor have I been to one.

It sounds like an engagement party.  

For things like that I usually just bring a congrats card and a bottle of wine.

 

For the actual wedding or a known bridal shower, then I would get an actual gift.

It sounds like an engagement party to me. You can check to see if they have a registry yet. Either way, I'd take at least a bottle of wine or champagne.

I agree with PP's, it sounds like an engagement party to me, a meeting of the families, so to speak. I would probably do a card and a bottle of wine. If you can, you may want to double check the registry and see if a bunch of stuff is already bought off of it as well.
