Hi all,
My future MIL is throwing FH and I an engagement party with their side of the family next month. We had to do separate engagement parties as our families live around 6.5 hrs apart from each other. Future MIL is awesome and very sweet, as is the rest of the family. She told FH and I to think about and let her know what are some gifts we would like at our engagement party next month.
First of all, I already felt guilty at my side of the family's engagement party accepting gifts as there is also the expectation to give a gift at the shower AND the wedding, I felt ridiculous accepting a gift for engagement as well. I'm new to this wedding stuff and don't know how normal/abnormal engagement gifts are. Anyway. Does anybody have appropriate ideas of what to tell future MIL we would like for gift ideas for our engagement party? I definitely want to pick things that are on the less expensive side but don't really have any ideas, as any household items seem more like shower gifts. Since we were asked what we would like, I would like to at least give them some idea.
Appreciate any suggestions, thank you! Also, are engagement gifts normal? Should I stop feeling guilty? Lol!
