On One Hand: Engagement Gifts Are Not NecessaryEngagement parties are held to announce the upcoming marriage of a couple. Close family and friends are invited and the formal announcement is made during the party. It is not proper etiquette to take a gift, nor should one be expected at an engagement party.On the Other: Guests Give Engagement Gifts to Celebrate the NewsA family member or friend can bring a gift to an engagement party for the couple if it is common knowledge that an announcement is being made. The gift can be a small token for both the future bride and groom.Bottom LineA guest has an option to give a gift to the engaged couple at the announcement party.
