Have your favourite couple recently got engaged? Celebrate by showing love to their love with our list of the best engagement gifts for couples. We know it's difficult to know exactly what to get for a newly engaged couple or even how much to spend, but don't worry, we've got all the answers to all the important questions about engagement gifts for couples to help you along your gift giving journey.
How to Buy Engagement Gifts for Couples
How much should I spend on an engagement gift?
Of course, there's no set price you should pay for an engagement gift as it truly is just about the thought behind it. Of course, if you're feeling generous, you could spend up to £200 on an ultra-luxurious engagement present or spend no money at all with a handmade engagement gift. Just the fact that you're acknowledging the couple's big moment is sure to brighten their day.
Do I need to bring a gift to the engagement party?
One thing to note is that gifts are never mandatory! We all know that times can get hard and sometimes you may not even be able to afford an engagement present. Although gifts aren't expect, if it weighs on your mind you can always quietly explain to the newly engaged couple why you haven't brought an engagement gift - we're sure they'll understand, perhaps you can give a card or handmade gift instead. If you can afford to buy an engagement present for the couple, it’s always a lovely gesture.
What if I don't know the couple very well? Do I still need to buy them an engagement gift?
If you’re not really that close to the couple, you're not obliged to buy them anything. But if you do want to acknowledge their engagement without going overboard, you can always opt for an engagement gift idea like a bottle of bubbly or a nice candle.
Can I give an engagement gift to just one half of the couple?
Although it can be done, we recommend buying an engagement gift that both partners can enjoy but if you're closer to one person or perhaps you've never met their other half, you could give them something general that they're guaranteed to like.
Is it okay to give money as an engagement gift?
Yes, giving money as an engagement gift for couples is perfectly acceptable and often appreciated, especially if the couple is saving for something special. Just be sure to present it in a thoughtful way, like in a beautiful card or alongside a small, meaningful engagement gift.
