Engagement Present Ideas

Anonymous
My family member in her early 30s is having an engagement party. We are traveling to attend. I have never attended an engagement party so I don’t know what type of gift works or what budget is appropriate. Open to all ideas.

I invited people to a fancy dinner for my engagement, and there was no expectation for anyone to bring gifts.

I’d do something small. Maybe a cute ring tray for her to use with her new precious jewelry? The other one I also liked was a return address stamp with the couples names on it and a nice set of stationary (for thank you cards).

Or maybe a set of champagne flutes and a nice bottle of bubbles?

Cash or a bottle of champagne

My son and daughter-in-law-to-be just had an engagement party and they got several champagne flutes and bottles of bubbles, as well as ring-related things. They also got several wedding planning books.

I like to give a beautiful silver frame, and if I have a photo of the couple, I will put it in the frame.

Go to TJ Maxx or Marshall's and find a piece of silver to give them. Last time I did that, I got a silver wine bottle chiller and they loved it!

Nobody needs a silver frame. OP do not buy someone decor.

If she's having an engagement party, she's got a registry somewhere. Find it, and purchase something off the list

This isn't true for many brides-to-be since the engagement party is probably shortly after she got engaged.

Someone got me a very tasteful ring dish for my engagement, which I loved.
