When someone gets engaged etiquette

I don't know what etiquette is, but we only got gifts from our engagement party. Everyone who didn't come/wasn't included maybe sent a card.

We only received cards from a few people. I think a card is fine.

Yea we definitely won't be going to their engagement party. It's next weekend and I found out about everything from his sister who's in my BP.

Engagement gifts? I don't think you're obligated to send anything, but a card is a nice thought. I may be a horrible person, but I think anything more than a well wish and congratulations is silly. Heck, we got engaged the night before our annual holiday party so we joked that it was an engagement party, but I would have felt awkward if anyone brought a gift. We got a few cards from people who saw it on FB, and that was sweet. I think you're ahead of the game thinking of them and sending a nice card.

Ok good I thought it'd be nice. I would have enjoyed more than the 5 cards we recieved and we were both super grateful for people even taking the time to send a card! Thanks Ladies!

A couple friends got me wedding magazines, my planning binder and then a mug with my future last initial but I really wasn't expecting any of that. A congrats in any form (card, call, post) is enough I think.

We also haven't received anything much by way of gifts or cards, except from my two best friends who are also BMs. I created them each an Engagement basket when they got engaged with a cute white storage tub, champagne, 2 champagne glasses, card, nail polish, cute notebook, wedding magazine, a decoration letter of their soon to be new last name for decoration in their home, and a wedding movie. I almost feel like I made it a thing between the three of us, but it's been fun gifting each other when we each got engaged. They got me wooden decoration blocks that say "Always" "&" "Forever" and letter C notes and envelopes. My other best friend got us cute wood/glass picture frame holder that has the quote "love makes a house a home." It'll look nice in our home once we make our transition to a rustic look when we move into a house. Other than the gifts from my two best friends, I haven't received anything else, nor expect to receive anything else. We are not having an engagement party, but I know someone is hosting a Bridal Shower for me.

We didnt expect anything, we just wanted to celebrate and invited friends over and a different night my parents did a dinner for immediate family. Most people just gave us bottles of alcohol or a cute card, my favorite part was the new wine to try

We got a few gifts from people really close to us. We weren't expecting anything though. A card would be a nice gesture

I don't think they're required and a card is fine...but if you wanted to send a small gift, something like a wedding countdown would be cute:

I don't think people really expect it but it's such a kind gesture. a card is totally fine, we received a few really cute Christmas ornaments (though we got engaged in november..so that makes more sense) and of course an issue or two of a wedding magazine is always a cute idea!

My mom sent me a card, but that was the only thing I received. No one sent gifts.

We got lots of cards and LOTS of champagne/wine bottles to celebrate, we actually still have a few bottles lol... My MOH sent me a planning book & "sweating for the wedding" tank.

I've never heard of gifting someone who just got engaged, it is a really nice gesture but I don't think it's the norm. I would think if the couple held an engagement party then a card and a small gift could be in order; but I believe if the couple just annouces their engagement then a congratulations should suffice.

We didn't get anything when we got engaged. My birthday was a few weeks later and a friend put together a wedding planning kit for me.

We didn't get any gifts and I certainly didn't expect any.

No gifts. Lots of phone calls, FB messages, a couple of cards.

The only "gift" we got was my MOH decorating our house and surprising up when we got home that night with some friends. Even that I thought was too much!

I don't send anything. I received one card with a $25 gift card to Target when I got engaged. I think the card is a nice idea, but any gift is totally optional.

I have never received a card nor sent one when someone got engaged. I think a card would be nice, but I see no need to include a monetary gift.

We didn't get anything from anyone. It was near my graduation though so I was getting graduation presents.
