Hello all!

I will be attending my friend’s engagement party next month and would like to know if there are any traditional gifts/behaviors I should include.

The couple are Coptic-Egyptian (apologies if I’m saying anything incorrectly) and we are in the US. They are fully practicing/traditional but I believe they were born US and raised here, although they frequently visit Egypt and their faith is very important to them.

I love these people dearly and have only asked them a few questions about their faith from time to time, not trying to be prying or rude ever, only curious/respectful.

The party will be large, I’ve been told it will be “very Egyptian” which was described as lots of dancing and loud in a fun way, I’m very excited to share this moment with them and would love to know any gifts that have special meaning that I can bring!

I’m not trying to spend a fortune, but something in the $200 usd range would be ideal.

I also would like to know if there are any colors or items to avoid.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
