How much do you spend on Engagement Party Gifts? (with poll)
Just curious ... how much do you typically spend on a gift when you go to an engagement party? We got such a huge range of gifts at our e-party, I really have no idea what to do.
I do know that I want to get them something from their registry, they included the cards with the invite. When I was a bride, I wanted to  over non-registry gifts.
The groom was in our BP, and is DH's college roommate and fraternity brother.
The party is at their apartment.

Re: How much do you spend on Engagement Party Gifts? (with poll)
In our circle no one has engagement parties. Just a bridal shower and the wedding, so I really don't know what the norm is. Sorry, I'm no help!

I would say around $100, depending on how close you are to the couple.

Re: How much do you spend on Engagement Party Gifts? (with poll)
I would say $100. We had an engagement party and we didn't expect anyone to give us anything. In the end, we got money and some other gifts, which was all good with me considering I wasn't expecting anything.

Re: How much do you spend on Engagement Party Gifts? (with poll)
i don't spend much on e-parties because i feel its kinda odd to have a party to be engaged when a lot of engagements end before marriage IoI (in my circle). Last E party i went to was for my cousin and i think i spent $30-$35 on a gift. I would give more if it was a closer family member most $50.

Re: How much do you spend on Engagement Party Gifts? (with poll)
LOL I have no idea- I have never really been to an engagement party. We went to one a couple of years ago and it was for DH's friends I had never met. It was a casual backyard party and I didn't know we were supposed to give a gift. DH said we had to so we went to william sonoma and spent like $30. We got them a nice set of margarita glasses. LOL I thought it was weird we were supposed to bring a gift since it wasn't the wedding- But I had never known anyone to have an engagement party before that.
