Engagement Party

I'm wondering what are the 'rules' on engagement parties. I've never been to one, but mark and i have been invited to one.
We're wondering if you are expected to bring a gift or not. We have no problem bringing one... but we don't want people to look at us funny becuase we did bring one and nobody eles did.

I don't think you HAVE to bring a gift, but you could see if they have registered and then you will know if they are hoping for one :) But I would say that a card would be fine. It depends on how well you know them too I guess.

The general rule is that engagement parties don't warrant a gift. WE didn't expect them for ours. We got a lot of cards. If you are concerned about it, maybe a nice bottle of wine? I know several friends brought us bottles of wine.

We're not expecting gifts (although my family made us register). We know that 2 people got us a gift because they told us. Some people will and some people wont. Like Lacey said, if your worried take a bottle of wine or something like that. If they are liquor people take a bottle of their favorite liquor (if you know).

The only event which a gift would be required is a shower. You can do or not do anything you want for an e-party.

Thanks Everyone!
I appreciate the thoughts. I think a nice bottle of wine would be great. I'd hate to show up empty handed but don't want to go over board.
I worry to much i think.

Thanks Again!
