Are you supposed to give gifts when you attend an engagement party?

    It's not absolutely necessary, but if you do want to take something along, a nice bottle of wine or restaurant gift card would make a good present. :)

    I would usually give a present at an engagement party.  How big would depend on how close I was to the couple.

    Your bio says you life in Long Island, so yes.Engagment parties are weird that way as it really depends on your area.  Northwest, no.  Mid america, not so much, NY & NJ, absolutely.They really should be just small gifts though.  A nice picture frame, a wedding planner, candles, plant, the hostess gift sort of stuff.

    a bottle of wine and a card would be my guess.

    Depends on your crowd. In my area (friends and family), yes we give gifts. But they're not the small ones OOT referenced -- we give registry gifts (typically china, silver, or crystal). FWIW, we give the same gift for an engagement whether there's a party or not.
