From traditional presents to unique ideas, here’s what to get your friends to help them celebrate—and plan—their wedding.
Engagement gift-giving is a vast, confusing landscape.
The couple won’t have set up a registry yet, so the guidelines aren’t quite clear, plus it can be hard to determine what to buy for a new engagement versus for the other events to come, from bridal showers and bachelorette parties, to the wedding day itself.
In other words, engagement gifts are a grey area, and as such, are very open to interpretation—but that should count as a blessing.
The wide range of possibilities present an opportunity.
This is the chance to get creative, and there really is no wrong answer—you essentially have the choice to purchase a present that the couple can use for any upcoming wedding event or task (of which there will be plenty), from the minute they sit down to assemble a guest list (a leather-bound planner?), to the moment they set off on their honeymoon (a book of travel inspiration, or perhaps a beach-ready tote?). In between, there will be the beauty prep, potentially a new home to decorate, and many, many celebrations.
