While there is no tradition with bringing a gift to an engagement party, many kind-hearted people close to the bride and groom often like to express their acceptance with a gift. There will be many opportunities for a guest to give a gift including the hen’s night, buck’s night, bridal shower and of course, the wedding. It is courteous that a bride and groom should not request a gift and often the engagement party is a surprise so requesting a gift would be a give away (doh!).

There is also the possibility of one or more of your guests feeling uncomfortable for not having brought a gift or bringing a small something that is of lesser value than another guest. Personalised gifts, such as engraved glassware, that are unique and affordable are often the best way to show your support for the upcoming marriage. They show you invested thought as well as leaving you the opportunity to provide the married couple with a nice gift at the wedding.
