engagement gift etiquette?
We're going to DH's cousin's engagement party next weekend. We never had a formal engagement party (we just met at a bar with friends to celebrate) so I am not sure what's the etiquette. Are we expected to bring gifts? If so, any ideas? DH is not very close to the cousin and we do not know/have not met her fiance.
Re: engagement gift etiquette?
hrm...we've only been to one engagement party, and we didn't bring a gift. now, i would never recommend that anyone follow our lead on etiquette
, but i don't remember feeling uncomfortable about it, so i think that must mean not many others did either - but i can't really remember!
i think it probably depends on lots of things - the type of party, the relationship, and the personality of the couple and region you live in?
we have been to some engagement parties and not brought gifts. I didn't feel bad, and we were in the majority. Both were pretty casual, perhaps if the party is super fancy or traditional or for a really close friend/relative I would bring something.
Agree with all of this. If you want to take something (or think it will be expected), how about a card with a gift certificate to a restaurant or something like that?
This is perfect.
We went to an engagement and I just got something small, a notepad of sticky notes but with cherry blossom print from a very nice stationary store. It was because she wad doing her wedding with the cherry blossom theme. So I said she can take notes on them. I was glad we brought something since there were other gifts there. But I felt it was OK to give something small because I also later went to her shower (and gave a shower gift) and also went to the wedding and gave a nice wedding gift.
