It makes more sense to me that the engagement ribbon should be cut by the groom's father or grandfather, if any. It is always better if someone with a good marriage cuts it.
The eldest, most experienced and knowledgeable person, who is loved by both the boy's side and the girl's side, usually cuts the ribbon among the family. Because this is our tradition. Grandfathers are usually the first
Honestly, in every engagement I see, the ribbon is cut by the eldest and most respected member of the family and the sister or best friend of the bride who brings the scissors.
I actually know that this varies from region to region. For example, I've heard that in some regions the sister of the bride can do it, but mostly the elders of the family do it. So it varies according to the region and culture.
