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 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)

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?

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
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!!!
