When should you give an engagement gift?

Engagement gifts are traditionally given at the engagement party, but the practical rule is any time between the proposal and the wedding. A personalized canvas takes 5-7 business days to produce, so order within 2 weeks of the engagement to deliver before any family celebration.

When should you give an engagement gift?

Detailed answer

The traditional answer: at the engagement party (usually 1-3 months after the proposal). The modern answer: any time between proposal and wedding works — at the engagement party if you're attending, as a shipped delivery if not, or as a Christmas/birthday gift between engagement and wedding.

For shipped delivery, order 2 weeks before the date you want it to arrive — that allows 5-7 business days of production + shipping + a buffer.
