Re: Engagement Party Gifts?
Do you mean gifts you'll get or you have to give a gift. I usually give money. We got mostly money for our eparty b/c we didn't register - we only got 2 gifts. But I've been to eparties where people registered and they got a ton of gifts, mostly off their registry. Although I remember at my sisters eparty a few years ago she got a ton of vases and candy bowls and stuff.

I got a lot of $$, some frames for wedding pics, champagne flutes, and wine goblets. I also got some gift cards to Macy's and Home Goods.

I would give money. It helps the couple save more for their wedding.

Re: Engagement Party Gifts?
we got $, plates from registry, wine glasses and a bunch of other stuff that has been sitting in my closet the past year as I have no place to put it. When we buy a house it will all be a new present.

Re: Engagement Party Gifts?
For our party we really just wanted $$$$$
But we got beautiful gifts also:
engraved frames, candle sets, spa gift certificates, bar sets, registry stuff, etc.
Stick with cash $75-$200 depending on closeness and what you can afford
