Giving an engagement gift to a friend..

shes probably not having a party but do you think it would be odd to mail her a engagement card w/a check in it? We have been friends for 25 years but we don't see eachother that often...still close though.

I think I'd send her an actual present instead of a check. If it was an e-party I'd of course give $$ but since there's no party I think a gift might be more appropriate. Is she registered yet?

I think that would be incredibly thoughtful and sweet. Also, I am sure she will be thankful.

I would send a gift. If she's not registered yet, u could send her toasting flutes or a really nice picture frame.

ditto

even if she didn't register there is always something unique that you can find to send....Even cute dessert dishes.

They sell these photo albums in Fortunoffs...I think 30 dollars? There are 3 photo albums included. One for the engagement, shower, and wedding...or shower, wedding, honeymoon. I can't remember. They also sell a similar one at BBB for half the price in white (pink letters). It's nice to have to bring to work or someone's house instead of lugging your huge wedding album.

Buy her something off her registry.

If she's not registered, I don't think its odd at all - I would appreciate a check myself, we aren't going to have an engagement party, so I think its a nice gesture to a close friend.

You know what, the first engagement gift I got was from my boss, and it was a cake cutting set from lenox. I absolutley LOVED It, it was before I was registerd and everything. You can always give a gift receipt if she wants to return it...
