What about sending the gift to the bride/groom's home, but bringing a card to the reception? I tend to do that.
Also, what about the little "additionals"??
I end up being invited to multiple showers and parties for engaged friends and then there is the wedding gift on top of it all!
How much should I spend? I'm not wealthy, and I know I tend to overdo it, given my budget, but I want to share in everything and be as generous as possible!
One of my favorite gifts to give at an engagement party is to take a few bottles of decent wine, add a bag of unpopped microwave popcorn and a Blockbuster gift card, and put them in a nice basket with a ribbon (on a bed of raffia, naturally) and make a little place card called "Newlywed's Date Night." It's fairly inexpensive to pull off and always appreciated as a very creative and thoughtful gift!
