I wouldnt give a gift for an engagement party. so they good engaged...good for them. if your invited to the wedding you'll be giving a gift then...and if your not then they would only be inviting you to the party to try and get a gift if t hey expect them. what kind of gift would a couple need for an engagement? and just because they are engaged doesnt mean they will get married. stuff happens. engagement parties are stupid anyways. save money for the wedding. people are all about getting what they can out of other people. gifts here and gifts there. I wouldnt bring them anything at all. if they expected something then tough for them.

No, you are not expected to bring a gift to an engagment party. That's what the bridal shower and the wedding reception is for.
Most people show up with a card. You may bring a bottle of wine, flowers or a pottet plant, just like you would in any other party. A bottle of champagne and a card is more than plenty.
Good luck

Our friends had 3 parties. I thought it was a little overzealous but they are loved.
They first had an engagement party and where I grew up we got them something no matter what so us and like 2 other people got them something (now that was because everyone else knew there were 2 more parties and we did too but I got something anyways)
Then it was their couples shower and everyone got them something.
Then they had another engagement party just thrown by friends only. People did get them something there too but since we already got them 2 gifts plus the wedding we didn't do one that time.
So it depends on how many parties their having.
If this is the only one then yes you need to bring a gift plus a wedding gift at the wedding.

No you are not, but you are def invited to the wedding and of course the reception so make sure to take a gift there. Don't be surprised though if maybe 1 person has a gift. But don't feel bad if that happens you have plenty of time to get them a gift. It's just the start, not time for gift yet.

No, not at all. Gifting is for the bridal shower and wedding reception. The engagement party is just a chance for people to get together to talk and get to know the couple and bridal party.

A gift is always in order for pretty much any party you're invited to. You don't have to spend a lot... just a gift of appreciation and friendship is a kind thing to do. A bottle of champagne or a romantic candle with a contratulations card. Something simple (and not too expensive)

Yes you take gift to both the wedding and the engagement party. Most couples expect it put it on the invitation.

No. No gifts at an engagement party.
Gifts are only mandatory if you decide to attend a SHOWER.

A card would be nice and a small gift. As other have said, nothing extravagant or expensive. That type of gift is reserved for the wedding.
