1. On the day of marriage proposal, after determining the auspicious day for their marriage, the man will formally visit the woman's house, which is also a formal proposal in name. The man can take this day as a day to give a bride price. Of course, not all regions have the saying of proposing marriage, so not all regions send bride price on this day;

On the day of engagement, engagement is a more formal day to propose marriage, so most families will choose to send the bride price to the woman's house on the day of engagement. On the day of betrothal, not only the woman's parents were present, but also her important relatives and friends were present, which better reflected the man's attention to the woman, made the betrothal more arranged, and made the woman and the man more face-saving;

If there is no engagement on the day before the wedding, you can set the date of giving the bride price on the day before the wedding. However, this time may be because the woman's family is busy preparing for the wedding and has no energy to watch the bride price.
