The thought to buy her an\u00a0engagement\u00a0gift\u00a0did not enter my mind until just last week. I do want to get her something, however I&#8217;m not sure what would be an appropriate gift. Even though it has been two months, is it too late to get her a gift? If not what would you suggest and how much money would be the right amount to spend? She and her fiance just built a house from the bottom up and has everything she would need for her new home. This is a second marriage for both, she is divorced for over 9 years and his was final approximately 2 years ago. There are 3 children between the both of them. Thank you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>Wedding Queen<\/h4>\n<p>Please note that you are not obligated by etiquette to buy an\u00a0engagement\u00a0gift\u00a0but the thought is very sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Just select something you think your friend would never buy for herself that fits into your budget. Consider the couple&#8217;s taste, style and hobbies. For example, if the couple has kids and they are overworked (and who isn&#8217;t these days?) perhaps a gift certificate for a night out or a day spa would make a great gift. Also, anything that could be a keepsake is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See Also\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/what-to-get-the-second-time-couple-here-are-some-second-wedding-gifts-ideas\/\">What To Get The Second Time Couple<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/gift-ideas-for-your-second-wedding-and-why-it-is-trickier-this-time\/\">Gift Ideas for Your Second Wedding and Why it is Trickier this Time<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/second-wedding-gift-ideas-ballroom-dance-lessons\/\">Second Wedding Gift Ideas: Ballroom Dance Lessons<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>The Bridal Expert<\/h4>\n<p>Try to find a gift that reflects the style and interests of the couple.
