I'm a little bit confused about the protocol of 'engagement parties'. My boyfriend's sister is holding an engagement party, at a hall, free drinks, with a mix of guys & gals (it's not a stag and doe..) and I'm unsure what this party means in terms of gift giving? What would you do in this situation?
I asked my boyfriend (he is clueless when it comes to gifts..i know this firsthand).. but he says we just show up and celebrate. What would you do? Thanks!

It's not standard to bring a gift to an engagement party. However, some people do bring gifts and at the ones I've been to it tends to be pretty mixed. Do whatever you're more comfortable with and if you do bring a gift, it's good to get something relatively small for the engagement because you'll still be buying them a wedding present. If you're unsure, ask someone else who is going to the party if they're bringing anything. It's his sister, and I'm sure the most important thing to her is that you're both there!
1Having just got engaged and expecting a party this weekend I was asked what I wanted. I said a memory album, like a scrap book, so that when I get stressed over this whole process I can work on that and remember that this is a wonderful occasion. I also asked for bridal magazines and anything organizational that may help with the wedding process.
2Hope this helps!
