Cash... chances are it will go towards the wedding or HM and everyone can use help with that.

ETA: For my e-party for those who gave money, gave an average of $50 pp.

i would give cash or a gift card.....i think $50 is reasonable if your not the best of friends anymore.

My parents spent more money on a party at the house than they would if we had it at a restaurant. SO... I don't think just because someone has it at a house you should bring less of a gift.
I would say at least 75-100 for 2 people. 50 for two people is pretty cheap esp if they were good friends and they are going to be coming to your wedding.
I would check bbb macys etc where ppl register for their names. just bc its not on the invite doesnt mean they arent registered.

thats where u and I differ. but i said RH not restaurant. and the amount of money I would give for an Eparty at a RH is 150 per person.. i treat them almost like weddings. I wouldnt give 300$ check(fh and i ) for an eparty at a house,but thats just me.

we treat engagement parties like weddings when it comes to gift giving.



us too. most of our guests at my eparty bought me somehting off the registry and like 4 ppl gave me cash. can you ask one of your freinds or her family member if she's registered? or just look her up on BBB or macy's.
