Question:
My nephew is having an engagement party tonight, do I need to take a gift. I'm not sure?????

Answer:
While there is no written rule stipulating that you MUST bring a gift, it is commonly understood and often expected that an engagement gift is offered or presented, especially if the couple and their families are hosting a special party to commemmorate the occasion. Some couples have an engagement registry which is usually annoted on the invite. Others look forward to common essentials such as flatware, linens, etc. To be on the safe side however, many simply opt for a gift certificate or good old cash, and how much you give is generally based on what you can afford, where they are hosting the party, and how close you are to the couple in question.
