Gifts for the Engaged

It seems that everyone in my life has wedding fever. The time between Christmas and Valentine’s Day is very popular for engagements, so I’m expecting a few more announcements to pop up pretty soon. One of my close friends from high school and my cousin got engaged this fall. I’m super excited to be attending both of these weddings, especially my cousin’s since I was asked to be a bridesmaid! So with all the bridal buzz floating around, I put together some cute gifts for those women who just got engaged. Spoil her with some nice bridal jewelry or help her out with the planning with a bridal book. Here are some of my picks.

gifts for engaged

Kate Spade “Mrs” necklace  |  Kate Spade “Mrs” earrings  |  Kate Spade bridal bangle  |  Philosophy “Here Comes the Bride” set  |  “I Carry Your Heart” jewelry holder  |  Target wine chiller  |  Mr. & Mrs. cocktail glass set  |  Wedding day survival kit  |  The Knot’s “Complete Guide to Weddings” Book  |  “Shopaholic Ties the Knot” book by Sophie Kinsella   |  The Knot’s “Ultimate Wedding Planner” book

What fun gifts have you given a newly engaged friend or family member?

    I actually got one of those dishes for the ring for a friend of mine who just got engaged!  They are so cute.  
    Have a great weekend!

    I love the jewelry holder..nice place to store your wedding rings/bands!  And
    the Philosophy gift set is so sweet- so many brides get just shower
    gifts and wedding gifts but they need to be pampered and de-stress with
    all the planning they are doing!

    I bought the Knot wedding book
    when I was planning my wedding and passed it on to a friend that got
    engaged, then she passed it on, etc.  We all signed our names (maiden
    and married name) along with our wedding date on the inside cover so
    they can see the list of brides that used the book :-)

    And I am so excited for you to be my bridesmaid! It will seriously be here before you know it!

    Funny story: Andrew and I went to Pre Cana two weekends ago, and when it was finally over we were so ready to get out of there, we left without the diploma!! I have been trying to get in contact with the woman since then to have it mailed and still nothing. So it better come soon. I think he would rather elope than sit through one of those again so hopefully our July wedding is still on :)

  • Olivia

    My best friend and I got our other best friend the Kate Spade bangle when she got engaged last month – it’s SO pretty! But my favorite is the Mrs. necklace, I plan on buying it for myself if no one else does when I am someday engaged haha. Love these ideas! xo

    go for the glam
