Engagement party gift ideas?

Q. I'm attending my cousin and his fiancée engagement party next weekend and I have no idea what kind of gift to give them since they already live with each other and have everything they need for their house. I was thinking of just buying them a card and putting $100 dollars in it. Is money a good idea or should I get them an actual gift.


Answer
I agree, most people do not consider the engagement party to be a gift giving event, it IS the gift!
You can't go wrong with just a nice card.

If you wish to give a gift, cash or a boxed gift, fine, you can. But do know that you might be invited to lots of wedding events. Perhaps more than one engagement party. Perhaps the shower, or more than one. Then the wedding itself. Perhaps even a bachelor, or bachelorette party.
It would be nice to give them some money up front, I'm sure they would appreciate it. If you can afford it, why not?

This is a good time for the family to give heirloom or new bought gifts for the wedding, like a cake server and knife, or toasting glasses.
Also a good time to hand down heirlooms for their house, or jewelry.
Also for the family to chip in with financial help.

Books on weddings are a good present.
a bottle of champagne intended to be opened at this party, or for another time, or a bottle of nice wine is good.
Photo albums and scrapbooks would be fine too.

engagement gift ideas!?!?!?

my boyfriend and i have an upcoming engagement party to go to, actually in 2 days, and we need some help as to what gift to give. the couple is unique in that the male will be leaving for two years shortly after the party to serve in Iraq, after which the wedding will take place. So, we need some unique ideas that stray from restaraunt gift cards, etc. Something we can get fast, not too expensive [under $100] that both can enjoy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!


Answer
Hi,
I don't think a gift is needed. Definitely give them a card and, if you want, a nice bottle of wine. What you CAN DO....is be there for your friend while her fiancee is away. Offer to help her with any wedding planning. If you are not that close to her (maybe only to him?), you can still offer to take her out to lunch, go with her to a movie, or send her a card every now and then while he is away! She will really be missing him and she needs support!
