Attending engagement party

I would bring a nice card, I loved going though all the ones we were given the next day. If you wanted too maybe a small gift, gift card or cash.

Note - I'm in Australia so it might be a bit different to the US norms.

A congratulatory card would be nice! Gifts are for the wedding shower. People may still bring gifts to an engagement party.

A card is fine. But guest aren't traditional expected to bring a gift

For our party our friends paid for our dinner, we got a few cards, a bottle of wine, and one couple got us a picture frame to frame our wedding pics. You definitely do not have to bring anything and if you want to, bring a card. Ours was hosted by our friends so for us the thought itself meant the world to us.

You don't have to bring anything, though a card and something small like a bottle of wine is appropriate and appreciated. I got my MoH a pair of champagne flutes for her engagement.

I've never attended another eparty, but at ours people brought us a few cards and bottles of wine.

Awesome! Thank you all so much! We did get a card and a bottle of wine so I feel good about that!

A gift isn't expected, but it's a nice touch. We had one and only received a few gifts that night (most being cards/champagne), but we were really just so overwhelmed with happiness that everyone came to celebrate us! I loved reading all the cards the next day. If it's a more formal engagement party, I would ask if anyone else is bringing gifts. One I went to was, and we brought a gift from the couples registry. If this is more casual, a card and a bottle should do just fine

I'm actually having my engagement party next weekend, and I've requested no gifts.

I've always given a gift at an engagement party

You don't need to bring a gift. However, I don't like to go places empty-handed. I have always brought a card and either a bottle of champagne or a nice picture frame to an engagement party.

ETA: At our engagement party, lots of people brought us champagne and cards! We got 2 picture frames that were a love-theme, my bff gave me a "bride" robe, another friend gave me ring cleaner and bride magazine, and another friend brought me all the planning books she had used for her wedding (not really a gift, more like just passing them on). And many other guests didn't bring a gift at all which was of course, fine as well.

Card and a bottle of champagne/wine should do the trick!
