Did anyone have an engagement party? We're having one during the holidays, since we are both away at school, as a chance for our families to meet. (BTW, the bottom of the invitation states in lovely, obvious font "Your presence is our only gift".) I've had family members on my side tell me that "No one has an engagement party" or that we're "being selfish".

Did we do something wrong?

Not that I can tell.

Most of the e-parties I've been to have said "no gifts" but most people will still bring you something just being polite (gift card to the store you've registered at if you've done that already, wine, etc).

I don't think they're selfish at all. Just a nice way for your friends and family to celebrate the engagement and meet each other. No big deal.

Now if you have it on a holiday weekend, make it black tie and ask for gifts, then yes, it's a little much. lol.
