One of my mates got engaged at the weekend to his long term girlfriend, he's the 1st of my mates to get engaged & well I dont know if / what im meant to do - will they be expecting a card or prezzie from me or is that not what happens??
Theres been no mention of a party or anything!!

Get them a card. If they have a party get them a present, nothing too fancy though.

My dad told me an engagements just an excuse for a pissup & get prezzies / money and to keep the woman happy 
Thinking about it they have also recently (last week) got an offer accepted on a house so im thinking they got engaged for the prezzies / to d up the new house

I suppose a card wouldn't go amiss.
As for partys, some do some dont (usually depends on the woman tbh)

get your mrs to send a card from both of you. dont bother with pressies or owt until you find out if having a party. we got engaged on the xmas day but didn't have party til end of feb. got cards from close family and friends twice, everyone else just at party.

I might send them a card......his wife to be has never met Jade so probably best it comes from me 
He is a close mate but hes tight as fuck & I can see through him hes got engaged to get the house done up!! 
Hmmm not a bad idea
