IMO..this is a little excessive for an engagement gift especially if you'd be attending the shower, bachelorette party and wedding.

I agree. I think $50 - $100 is good factoring everything mentioned above.

Yes, I agree, however, I took into consideration the fact that this is a very good friend of hers.

Re: What is the appropriate amount to spend on a friends engagement gift?
Usually I give $200 from me & DH. Last e-party I went to I am in the bridal shower. They got $250 from us plus we took them shopping for some odds & ends they need for the wedding.

Re: What is the appropriate amount to spend on a friends engagement gift?
I'd say $100ish.
DH and I didn't have a party and got such a range from our friends. We got gifts that were $15 to gifts that were $100. My MOH gave nothing. You never know with people...
