The amount I spend on any gift for someone depends entirely on how well I know them. If it was an engagement gift for my brother & partner I would spend up to £60, but if it was a friend from work then I'd spend £10-£15. I hope that helps a little! Remember, it's not about how much you spend at he end of the day, it's how much thought you put into the gift. The more appropriate it is for the recipient(s), the more they will apprecciate it.

Unless it is the bride and groom putting on their own engagement party then they get the engagement gifts anyway. However, if it is a parent of either side of the family; relative or friend that puts on the part (they are the hostess) you do not give a gift and only need to give the future bride and groom a gift.
The couple who just got engaged could have an engagement party two to three weeks later which gives them a chance to invite guests and to give the guests a chance to set the special event aside.
You should give that back.
Traditionally, the brides parents give an engagement party and the party is to be held in their home. Although now, engagement parties can be hosted by anyone close to the couple. Today the parties can be as formal or casual as you wish to make it.
