DS, (who is 25) has been invited to an engagement party, hosted by the groom's parents. He was quite close to the happy couple in college and has maintained that friendship from afar. (They live on opposite coasts.) He asked me if he was supposed to take a gift to the party. I said, 'no'....Now, I'm not sure I gave him good advice. Apparently gifts at engagement parties are quite common. I'd hate for him to be embarrassed by showing up to the party empty-handed if others will be taking gifts. Do couples register for engagement party gifts these days? I usually have etiquette-related topics under control, but I'm feeling a bit unsure about this.
What do you think? Should he take a gift?
