If a lot of family are going to be there, go, have a good time. but do not take a gift. 2-3 years is a long time, they can wait for their wedding, when they are truly setting up house together. And lord knows, the wedding might not happen. BUT, treat it like a family get together, and go, meet the SO and be gracious and congratulate them, but no gifts.

*so tired of our society's need for gift grabbing!*

I probably wouldn't go. If the wedding was just a few months away then maybe. And I didn't think you sent along where you were registered for an engagement party. I thought you were only to include registry info in the invite for the bridal shower. It's weird to be registered and not have the wedding for another 2-3 years. Yeah, I'd definitely skip it.

Well today was the party. We went and gave the happy couple a nice card with a bottle of Mead (honey wine). Perfect for the Irish bride to be and the groom to be who loves medival stuff.
