Engagement party expectations
Please be honest here ...
If I go or do not go to an engagement party, am I expected to give/send a gift? I never had an engagement party and thought they were the kind of thing done many years ago (passe). I have been married 9 years so I don't think it has been too long ago. I went to one two years ago and because she was my sister's in law that I would see at family gatherings so I got her something. I was also told by a family member that she was registered at Bed Bath and Beyond. With this girl I don't know. DH and are leaning towards not going for child care reasons. Still by not sending a gift if I go or do not go am I being rude? BTW ... the bride is someone I know through my friend.She is a a facebook friend and I only see this girl at my friend's events.

It's not a gift giving event, but personally if I was attending I would bring something: a gc or a bottle of wine. If you're declining the invite, no gift needed.
