What do you give as an engagement gift...
if you are in the bridal party?
I am a BM in my friends wedding and her engagement party is coming up. I didn't have an e-party so I don't know how it works. She has her registry information on the eparty invite. What would be the best gift to give?

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
Registry or money.
ETA: Maybe you can go in on a gift with the other BMs. My MOH and her family got us Swarovski toasting flukes. I LOVE THEM!

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
Something off the registry. I feel funny giving an envelope for anything but the wedding. I feel like one of the uncles or something.....JMO

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
One of my best friends didn't have a registry for the e-party (her and her FH live in different cities and don't have ANY storage room. They don't know where they'll be living yet.)
I gave them $$$, but I added a little personal touch - I put the $ in a Coach wallet (a little something for her!) and I ordered a personalized xmas ornament w/ their names and engagement year --- the party was just after xmas.
eta: if she has a registry, I would get something off of it.

I don't know how close you are to them but I was in teh same situation w/ one of my close friends and although I know they needed the money I thought it was too impersonal to give them money. I bought my friend waterford toasting flutes for her engagemetn--she ended up having them so she returned it for her knife & server for her cake. I just feel like espeically when you are in teh wedding party you should get them a gift rather than money. JMO.

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
I love to make baskets as gifts, For my friends engangment I bought a floral hat boxes filled it with champagne and champagne glasses, I also put a picture frame with a picture of the couple in it along with candles and some bridal books and magazines. They loved it!

I would get something from her gift registry. I would give $$ for a wedding gift with a card.

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
For my e-party, my MOH gave us swarovski toasting flutes, 1 BM gave us $$ and the others gave us gifts from the registry. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. A gift is a gift, they will appreciate whatever you give them! BTW, some people gave us gift that were not on the registry. One guest gave us a bueatiful crystal vase for the dining room table, another gave us a beautiful crystal decanter (spelling??) and someone gave us a gift card to Home Depot. You know, the kinds of thing you really need but it wouldn't be the first thing you'd buy for yourself.

Re: What do you give as an engagement gift...
how about something to help plan the wedding, or else something with a monogram?
maybe also dinner for her and her fiance.
