In most cases, yes. Check with the host &/or hostess to be certain. And I don't recommend it if you are one of the people who just got engaged.
No you shouldn´t. Mail them.
You know, I think things are getting out of hand. First you get a pretty little invitation in the mail........its a 'SAVE THE DATE' card............ then you get another invite..........it's the engagement party invite........ OH WHOOPIE!!!!!!!.................then you get another 'save the date' invite ---------its the SHOWER...................Then you get yet THE BIG INVITATION.........IT'S THE WEDDING!!!!!!!!! OEY VEY.... It's getting ridiculous........and I'm trying to remember...I don't think you should be required to bring a gift to the engagement party. Jeeze. Who can afford to do these things anymore? Just stick to............SHOWER...........WEDDING........ SIGH.......... no because I am not aeare the weeding before now

Gifts are not customary at an engagement party because they are expected at the wedding and etiquette dictates that those who are invited to an engagement party should be invited to the wedding. If you choose to give a gift you can but it is not required or expected.
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. It's also becoming more common for the couple themselves to throw a "couples shower" at their home or another venue which can be much like an engagement party.
No, it's rude to invite a guest to the Engagement Party when you have no intention of asking them to the wedding. If the guest has a reason they can't make the wedding then it's just fine to invite them to the Engagement Party.
