Are you supposto bring a gift to an engagement party? If so, what type of gift?? I know that I should know this, but all of my friends ride bikes and don't actually get engaged.
Engagement party etiquette?
- Thread starter OCDH
- Start date
People have engagement parties?
No. dont bring a gift. You'll get swindled out of one at the wedding if they're really serious.

hookers.
hookers always work well at engagement parties.

Or if they are on the slightly more conservative side, strippers.
I would think yes, and booze is always a fun party gift! :devil:
to go with the hookers/strippers of course

neaky:Booze sounds like a good gift...... seriously, I'll need all the drinks I can get if I have to see my brother and future sister-in-law with hookers and strippers. She has some sort of expensive chocolate fondue fountain thing planned....welcome to the snooty OC baby :angry:
It's the general rule of thumb that you should bring a gift to an engagement party. How much you like the couple and how good of friends you are with them should determine how much you spend on the gift. If they sent out invitations (yeah, for a freaking engagement party, whatever), they should have a listing of places they're registered. If in fact that they sent out invitations with no registration listing or if they just called you up and said, "show up," disregard everything I've said and screw up, just show up and drink. Werd.
Torque a fatty with the groom..... He'll need it. Toss him a bud for later too. Thats what I would do.....jdcamb
Try to hook up with the bride, if caught tell the groom you were testing the relationship for him.
yeah, you should bring a gift.reflux said:
wait a minute, is this like a shower for the bride and the groom. will the bride have a wedding shower too. is she one of those wierd brides that has like 5 different showers? and then a wedding present too. seems like a lot of gifts to me. but then again, i don't live in the OC.

TN could tell us too, he loves the OC. I, myself, am partial to Laguna Beach.
Best thing you can bring is an arguing married couple - show them off as the example of what the newly enganged will eventually become.
If that doesn't snap them back to reality, they are a lost cause.
In all seriousness... I don't know what you are supposed to do, but I'd say you should bring food and/or drink. There will probably be a bridal shower and a batchelor - and you'll get swindled into spending money then. Plus, a weddding present. For the engagement party, bring a bottle of wine or something similar.

And frozen corn dogs. I am sure they are a big hit in Orange County.
If its your brother i say screw the gifts. Me and my brother NEVER buy eachother gifts. We figure "not killing/disfiguring eachother while we where kids" is more than enough.OCDH said:

I don't even think he notices anymore.
yea... corn dogs and a case of Gennyloco-gringo said:
Man when I opened this thread I thought it was gonna be your party 
Corn dogs are way too low brow for OC. Case of Genny and a gallon jar of pickled eggs.jacksonpt said:
That'd be funny as hell, considering OCDH is a chick!! I'd buy that for a dollar. :devil:Westy said:

Is she hot??? Would she oblige??? Now that she knows it's a possibility, it may be easier.
That's for sure, and in that same vein, other possibilities include:jdcamb said:
* A nice 750ml of alcohol, but not Chardonnay...I like to give German holiday dessert wines or quality 750ml Cordials
* A gift certificate to Adam&Eve
* A subscription to Playboy
* A cool coffee table book
Get her drunk enough and she'll do anything.loco-gringo said:
Just kidding Hol, please don't kill me.
Remember, I ride bikes, so that's not gonna happenEcho said:Man when I opened this thread I thought it was gonna be your party
neaky: I would bring a stack of porno movies.W4S said:Get her drunk enough and she'll do anything.

.....that's anything but sleep with you :evil:
Totally kidding Bri.....
Suggestions are good so far - all but the corn dog suggestion. I don't think the blond princess would let her party go all 909 trailer parkish! I don't see a lot of bike gifts to her in the future...
Haha, word to thatOCDH said:Remember, I ride bikes, so that's not gonna happen
I'll be out your way with an XC bike in the middle of Feb, we should try and get a ride in.
And she freakin' RIPS on a bike.Ciaran said:
