You know...I'm not quite sure. I don't think there are gifts involved in just the engagement party, just the shower. However, I could be COMPLETELY WRONG.
I don't plan to have an engagement party. Just seems like more money out of the budget that isn't neccessary for me.
Not in lieu of. Engagement parties usually occur early on, before a bride would know whether they're receiving a bridal shower. I think E-parties are gaining in popularity because they're more likely to be for men and women, which is nice.
I guess my question is. If I would typically spend X amount of dollars for the bridal shower gift.. Should I a. Split it and count on the other half given later. 2. Give it all up front. 3. Give nothing for E party and wait for the shower. or 4. try to come up with more money or decline one or both events?
For our engagement party we requested that no one bring gifts. We just wanted a chance to celebrate and for my FI to meet close family friends before the wedding.
we had an engagement party - but we were engaged 2 years ago...no gifts or anything - just a party where our families met.
my bridal shower is in april (wedding is in june) - bridal shower is where well - not to sound selfish - but where gifts will expected - but not at the engagement party.
just my experience. :D

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Just curious. I haven't had an engagement party for myself nor do I plan on it. But they appear to be gaining in popularity and I have gotten invited to one. So I'm wondering if it necessitates a gift similar to a shower? Or will there likely be a bridal shower later on. Help confused by all these parties and the gift giving etiquette that goes with them!
