Do you give a gift when your son or daughter gets engaged?

In most states, you can get your motorcycle license at 16 or 17 years old.

Check now cheque. What it is about elites and their need to be someone they are not?

I’ve always spelled it cheque too. So going out of my way to write “check” would be me being someone I’m not.

Two engagement parties and two weddings! Combined I’m sure we spent somewhere between $150-200,000. And that was ten plus years ago. Thankfully they are both still happily married with a combined 7 grandchildren.

Nope, but my parents never bought me gifts. I'd probably get a daughter/daughter in law a nice piece of jewelry or help pay for the wedding if it wasn't big/lavish as I think small weddings are nice and I'm not paying for a huge party they will not remember 20 years form now.

Seems a bit light.

If wedding is happening soon, no gift necessary but no date fixed and probably would be in a couple of years, a small memento gift would be nice. Price doesn't matter. You don't have to spend over your budget, just embrace them with open heart and remember they were raised differently than you or your child so don't meet with expectations they don't even know exist.
