You'll probably have to make discreetenquiries to find out if anyone else is getting them a gift. If theyhave a party announcing it, then it's good form to bring a gift. If not,then a card would be OK. When we got engaged we didn't get gifts fromanyone, but we got some cards.
engagement gift : Never heard of an engagement gift except between the happy couple, but itmight be a good idea to get a head start on the wedding quilt.Roberta in DMy favorite engagement gift is a photo/keepsake box. You can purchase them ormake one. It's a place to keep special little momentos during this happy happytime.joanjoan o'reilly311 fan club8904 florence drivebellevue ne 68147I think an engagement gift is a sweet idea. Doesn't have to be pricey andthe photo notion is great. How about buying a little album and making acover for it? I've only done this once but it was a big hit. Just takes onequilt block (with a blank back). Adding one of those little disposablecameras would get them going with "engagement memories" PollyWell thats what I thought! Iraida (Columbian girl) simply loves purple so Ithought a purply double wedding ring quilt, although that seems a bit um,stuffy for a young couple. Something a bit more modern would be nicer, butI really don't have experience with these things!Hmm, I could make her a quilt for her shoes! =D (She has a whole wardrobefor them).
engagement gift : I am newly engaged and I would like for my fiancé to have somethingequivalent to a ring so that he too will have a sign of our future together.Any ideas from anyone?

Douglas Spectrum Photographic IncPhotographer Darkroom processes, formulas, facts and information.Weddings,portraits,commercia l and stock photographyI felt it was only fair that my HF gets a gift as a token of my love for himand a promise of our life together. I had two ideas, an engraved ID braclet ora watch with an engraving on the back plate. In the end though, I got him abunch of clothing and a DVD player, since I know he really wanted those thingsmore than jewerly.I went with practical as well, and got DH a dremmel tool as an engagement gift. It was appreciated waaaay more than jewlery would have been!
engagement gift : My FH is wearing a plain titanium band that I used to wear on my right hand(luckily, it fit him!). He'll switch to a titanium and gold band when weget married.A couple of weeks ago he was in a fast-food drive-through, and a bunch ofwomen in the vehicle in front of him held up a sign that said "Are yousingle?" So he flashed his "engagement ring" at them, and they acteddisappointed and drove off. Now, it would have been possible for him toexplain to them that he was technically single but unavailable if he hadn'tbeen wearing the ring, but it saved some time to have the ring on the"correct" finger!-----------Rachel Ward / Isolde / Bodacious Sylph O' Nekkidity / Wench 422 / MiSTie91289"A blisful lyf, a paisible and a swete,Ledden the peples in the former age." Chaucer, "The Former Age.""Very well, the motion carries," Doug smiled. "Let it go into the recordthat Go West has decided, by unanimous vote I might add, to leave theworld-saving to the big guys. Should the world still be imperiled at ournext hot tub meeting, we shall consider a recount." Go West , Chapter 12,by Jeremy BottroffI bought my husband a guitar when we got engaged. Of course he plays guitar so that was appropriate. It is avery nice one, a Taylor. He proudly calls it his engagement guitar when anyone comments on it...
engagement gift : The gift I usually give as an "Engagement Gift" is fromTiffany's. It is a blue Tiffany box that holds thebride and grooms rings. It is a simple blue boxwith a white ribbon around it. It is bone chinaand the top comes off. Everyone loves them! ORIGINAL MESSAGE:A friend recently told me that a hope chest is a traditional Americanpre-engagement gift. It says to the bride-to-be and to the her familythat more, so to speak, is on the way. I'm not sure, though, from whatmy friend told me that the hope chest would carry the same significancein *African-American* culture.So I guess my question is this: Is there any traditional pre-engagementgift in African-American culture?In (LisaAnn Taylor) writes: *snip*why not make your own traditions? if this is ceremonial stuff isinteresting to you, use your imagination and post it. you may besetting a new standard for aframs who are seeking rituals, ceremonies,etc. in love and marriage.I didn't think that this was going to be so confusing. I meant by a pre-engagement gift a token of one's "intentions" that indicate to the recipient and the recipient's family that an engagement and marriage will soon follow. I am told that it was not uncommon to give such a gift when engagement was more complicated than it is now (because of dowry, etc.).
