I believe that engagement party speeches should be limited to the Fathers (of Bride firstlt, then Groom) and to the Groom and or the Bride or both if they so wish. This occasion is to enjoy the celebration with family and friends and should not be burdened down with too many or too long winded speeches. Ken
Traditionally, the brides parents give an engagement party and the party is to be held in their home. Although now, engagement parties can be hosted by anyone close to the couple. Today the parties can be as formal or casual as you wish to make it. It's also becoming more common for the couple themselves to throw a "couples shower" at their home or another venue which can be much like an engagement party.
I don't think it will be stated in the State law, but traditionally, engagement ring is a promise for wedding. If any party breaks the promise, the engagement ring shall be given back.

Gifts are not customary at an engagement party because they are expected at the wedding and etiquette dictates that those who are invited to an engagement party should be invited to the wedding. If you choose to give a gift you can but it is not required or expected.
When I was engaged, I did not receive any engagement gifts. I do not know of any of my friends who received engagement gifts either. I think that a good replacement to an engagement gift would be a gift for their bridal shower or bachelor party in addition to a wedding gift.
No, it's rude to invite a guest to the Engagement Party when you have no intention of asking them to the wedding. If the guest has a reason they can't make the wedding then it's just fine to invite them to the Engagement Party.
