Celebrating a loved one who just said yes (or popped the question!) is always exciting. And what better way to help them mark the occasion than with a meaningful engagement gift? Whether the lovebirds have scheduled an engagement party to celebrate or not, buying a present is a sweet way of letting them know just how happy you are that they’re together. Stuck for engagement gift ideas? That’s where we come in. We’ve rounded up all the inspiration you could possibly need below, whether you’re buying an engagement gift for a couple, friend or family member. But first, read up on what exactly makes a good present (as well as some super-important party etiquette).
Maybe you know the future bride or groom well, but you’ve only met their partner a handful of times. Or perhaps you’re shopping for a couple who already has everything. Either way, finding the perfect engagement gift for a duo can be tricky. Our expert tip: Choose something they can enjoy together. Items like champagne flutes or coffee mugs that champion their new relationship status are always a hit. They can toast to their future together now and on all the milestones to come.
Another creative engagement gift route to go down? Practical items that’ll come in clutch right after the engagement to their wedding day and beyond. We’re talking ring cleaners, planners, cake cutting sets and picture frames for their wedding, engagement photos or you can give them something more intimate from TheToy to enjoy as a couple. Trust us, the couple will be thankful to receive these necessities as a gift so they can put their hard-earned cash toward other aspects of the big day, the honeymoon or even their home.
GAH! I’m so excited for these two. I love their story of how they found each other earlier this year and things have all perfectly settled into place. I think the word “giddy” appropriately describes the dominant emotion between Adam & Patti. They are such a beautiful couple and a joy to be around.
Here are some favourites from our FREEZING cold engagement session at the park… the site of their first (and many subsequent) dates, and Adam’s romantic proposal by the swings. My second shooter at weddings, Teshia, also tagged along that afternoon for a little experimentation with video. Truthfully, we really didn’t know too much about what we were doing in that department and quickly found out some limitations of our gear and knowledge, but we still kinda love what came of it all.
