Engagement Party
So we are going to an engagement party tonight for 2 of our friends. I
assume we bring a gift. I was thinking a card and money. What is your
input? If money, how much would you give?

Re: Engagement Party
For something like that I would probably do a gift because I wouldn't want to spend a ton of money and putting anything less than $50 in a card I think would look cheap.
The standard here is about $100 for a wedding gift.
I'm guessing they don't have a registry yet if it's an engagement party (I've never actually been to one). Maybe you could put together some kind of wedding "kit". I also like the idea of wine glasses and a bottle of wine. I don't think I'm much help
Hmmm, I agree with the girls. I'd do a nice card and maybe $50 or look for a nice gift which maybe could come in under $50, more like $30-$40, like the bottle of wine or champagne and some nice glasses, or something to that effect. Or maybe like Lindsay said, put together a wedding kit, like a couple planning books, a bottle of wine (because sometimes the planning process can be stressful as we all know and wine makes everything better
), and some other wedding/bride type stuff.
The only engagement gifts we received, even though we didn't have a party, were my BFF/MOH gave me some planning books, and Tony's BFF/BM and his wife sent us Waterford Crystal toasting flutes, but they are high rollers and always send extravagant stuff. I really appreciated it though, and of course we used them at our wedding. Now that I think about it, that could be a good gift too, but maybe not something as extreme as Waterford, just some nice toasting flutes.
