Mistakes to avoid when meeting your partner's parents for the first time

So it’s finally time to meet your partner’s parents. Congratulations for coming this far – not all relationships get to that level you know.

While preparation is key, how you carry yourself on that very day is even more important. As they say, you will have a second chance to create your first impression. Better create the best first impression.

These are people you don’t know so well and even a slight mistake can cost your relationship with your fiancée and the future in-laws.

Be sure to avoid these mistakes:

1. Being late

Never show up late ece-auto-gen

Whether you are meeting them in a restaurant for lunch or at their home, never show up late.

2. Showing up empty-handed

Your partner might insist that it’s okay to go empty-handed and you shouldn’t really worry. Don’t pay attention to that. Buy a gift but it shouldn’t be a very expensive one. You don’t want it to appear like you are trying to buy their acceptance.

3. PDA

Kissing Tips ece-auto-gen

The parents already know that you are in love. Spare that kiss for another time but don’t do it in the presence of the parents. You don’t even have to walk while holding hands around them.
