Engagement party question

We have decided that we are not going to register for gifts for our engagement party. I know that guest often bring monetary or other timeless gifts anyway. My questions is should I still set aside a 'gift table' or a box for envelopes at the engagment party?

Re: Engagement party question

I am not registering either and still setting aside a table..this way I don't have to worry about finding a place for them

Re: Engagement party question

I didnt register for my e-party but i had a table set aside for presents. Which i didnt need i only got 3 presents. The rest was money which everyone gave to me at the end of the party

Re: Engagement party question

I am having my party next month and we are putting a table out for our gifts and a small basket for envelopes.

Re: Engagement party question

I didn't register and i didn't set up a table either. I got a few boxed gifts. I just kept bringing them inside when people handed it to me (I had a backyard party at my house)

Re: Engagement party question

we registered and had a table set out .. we got more gifts then money but it was great because we got a lot of good stuff.. and we got a good amount of money as well so it went well... good luck!

Thats what we hope too. Ladies what did you/will you do with your envelopes/cash as you received it at your e-party? Did you or do you plan to have a wishing well?

Re: Engagement party question

I didn't register either but i'll have a table set up.

Re: Engagement party question

you can set up a table for the people that might bring gifts..with a box for the envelopes you may get...wishing wells are normally only used for your bridal shower

Re: Engagement party question

i didn't register, but i still had a card box and gift table. If you don't you'll have nowhere to put gifts and cards!

Re: Engagement party question

I just had my engagement party last weekend at Douglaston Manor, we did register..I have to say I got tons of presents and envelopes as well. D.M set up a gift table and held onto envelopes. Registering is good if you have a house or know of things that you would really like to have...

Re: Engagement party question

I'm having my e-party next month and I know already that people bought gifts for me...DAD and Step Mom... So since i registered a little bit becuase FMIL said I should so i did for a few things. SO i will set a table out and put a card box out too!!!

Re: Engagement party question

Don't bank on the money all the time...I know a freind of mine that didn't register and got a lot of crap she didn't like or want..it's tricky...most people know that money is the way to go but some people don't like giving it.. think about a small registery with stuff you know you want and need. good luck!!!

Re: Engagement party question

Hi,

Congratulations on your engagement!!

I'm interested in having my wedding at Douglaston Manor and was wondering if you were happy with everything at your engagement party?

I'm going to a tasting on the 14th, but any advice you can give is appreicated.

Thanks,
