Engagement Flowers & Gifts FAQs

What kind of flowers do you give for an engagement?

There is no one answer to this question as certain people have their own flower preferences and may like some buds over others. However, some popular engagement flowers include roses, lilies, and orchids, all of which you can order here at FTD. You can never go wrong with a classic delivery of red roses, but we also have a great selection of mixed flowers that make for amazing engagement gift bouquets.

Do you buy a gift when someone gets engaged?

While it isn't required that you buy a gift when someone gets engaged, it is a nice gesture to do so, especially if you are close to the couple. If you decide to get an engagement gift for the happy pair, make sure it is something they will appreciate and be able to use, like a plant if they're moving in together or a gift certificate to somewhere you know they'll appreciate. Whatever you choose, a small gift is sure to be appreciated by the newly engaged couple.

What is an appropriate engagement gift?

While this can depend on the couple in question, some across-the-board thoughtful gifts for engagement include personalized items, such as engraved champagne flutes or cutting boards. You could also go for something more sentimental, like a framed photo of the couple or a scrapbook filled with memories. Here at FTD, we have all kinds of thoughtful engagement gifts, from our selection of best-selling flower arrangements to our long-lasting plants for delivery. Whatever you choose, make sure your engagement gift is sent from the heart, with a message that tells the couple just how much you care.
