The occasion: The engagement (Vort or L'chaim) is a public commitment that the wedding will happen. Engagement gifts foreshadow the wedding registry — they should feel like a coming attraction, not the main event.
The piece: Tehillim (Psalms of David) are the most-recited Hebrew poetry in Jewish life — recited in times of joy, illness, gratitude, and mourning. A Tehillim verse on the wall is a permanent version of a prayer that families return to across life stages. That's exactly why Psalms-inspired prints land so strongly at a engagement — they carry meaning that scales with the moment.
Where it lives: The engaged couple usually hasn't moved in together yet — pieces they'll unpack IN their new home post-wedding. For Psalms-inspired prints specifically, dining room, master bedroom, or study.

Budget bands for a engagement:
- $80–$200 (friends) — the standard for close friends
