Engagement gifts - to use or not to use

Silly etiquette question, but is it okay to use our engagement gifts before the wedding? My mom thinks that we should keep them at her house until after the wedding, but I think if it's an 'engagement gift' that we should be able to use them now. Your thoughts please . . .

Re: Engagement gifts - to use or not to use

I tried not to use them, b/c of the bad luck thing, but then if i needed somehting, I used it.

But it got addicting and I started to use most of my gifts. But some stuff, like pillows and nice bedding, I am saving till after the wedding

Mine are all in a closet, only because I live at home still.
I don't see why you shouldn't use them. I don't believe in superstitions. (Bad Luck).

I see it this way, if you marrige goes bad its because something went wrong between the two of you along the way. Not because you opened a engagment gift before the wedding.
