Knowing which engagement party gift to purchase is tough. Since you’re unlikely to have the guidance of their wedding registry, you need to purchase something that you anticipate they’ll love.
It’s critical that you know how to search for the best engagement party gift, which price range is appropriate, and finally, which gifts newly engaged couples never fail to love.
This post is all about the best engagement party gifts.
Do you bring a gift to an engagement party?
While I thought it was pretty standard, bringing a gift to an engagement party isn’t that common. After further research, I discovered that it appears to be regionally based—meaning you’ll know if it’s expected in your area since everyone anticipates giving or receiving a gift at an engagement party.
The formality of the party can tell you whether you should bring a gift. If the host sends out fancy paper invitations, plan to get a gift. Alternatively, a gift might be out of place if you receive your invite via group text.
If you’re hosting an engagement party, do your guests a favor and tell them if they should bring gifts. First, make sure giving gifts is common at engagement parties where you live. Otherwise, asking for gifts at an engagement party can seem greedy. Then, thank your guests appropriately and give them a favor at the party.
As a guest, it’s never a bad idea to bring a plant, a bouquet of flowers, or a bottle of wine. These small but meaningful gifts cover you whether or not the couple expects gifts.
Always buy off the registry!
The couple will soon have a wedding registry—but it might not be out by the time of the engagement party. If, by chance, there already is a wedding registry, purchase something off of it! The couple took time to think through items at a range of prices that they genuinely would like to receive. You truly can’t go wrong with getting them exactly what they asked for.
If you can’t find a registry, consider the curated list of engagement party gifts below. These items are versatile, average between $20 and $100, and highly reviewed. Since you might not have the guidance of a registry, it’s best to purchase gifts that other couples are obsessed with.
