Meet the man's parents for the first time.

Are you going to accept a gift from your mother-in-law? What gift are you going to bring? What did you say when you met?

How much do you usually give as a gift for your first meeting?

According to custom

It is a custom for a girl to meet her parents for the first time. Therefore, her parents can give her a gift according to local customs, which can be a red envelope or a gift. There are no specific regulations.

According to family conditions

Parents should also give gifts according to their own economic conditions. If the economic conditions at home are better, it is ok to give more gifts to girls. If the family economy is not good, it is ok to give less. After all, gifts are just gifts, and girls should understand more.

lucky number

If you really don't know how much to give at the first meeting, just choose some lucky numbers. For example, 100 1 yuan (one thousandth), 100 1 yuan (one thousandth), 13 14 yuan (for a lifetime), or an amount with a mantissa of 6 or 8, which means harmony and prosperity.

When will the gift be given to this lady?

After dinner.

Generally speaking, greetings are given to the woman after meals, mostly by the man's mother. Of course, it may also be given by the man's father. In order to avoid embarrassment, when greeting, parents can say some polite words and their own thoughts and attitudes towards the woman, and the woman should also say some words of thanks. (For reference: What should my mother-in-law say when giving a red envelope? )

When I was about to leave

If you don't send a greeting gift after dinner, you can also give it to the woman when she is about to leave to say goodbye. Welcome her to dinner next time.

What does it mean to meet the man's parents for the first time without giving him a red envelope?

Custom reason

Many places will have the custom of going to the man's house for the first time, and parents will give him red envelopes. If girls don't accept red envelopes, it may just happen that the man doesn't have this custom in the local area, so girls can ask their boyfriends after meeting their parents.

Don't like you.

Generally speaking, giving a red envelope to the man's parents shows that they like you and agree to your marriage, which is an recognition of your identity, but not giving a red envelope is the opposite. At this time, you can think about how to continue this relationship.

The man's family condition is not very good.

Of course, if a girl doesn't receive a red envelope from the man's parents, she can also think about the family conditions of the man's family. If you feel really in financial difficulties, it doesn't matter if you don't give a red envelope. If it is an ordinary family, this will happen. Can you specifically ask your boyfriend if his parents are satisfied with you? If you don't want to ask your boyfriend directly, you can also tell from the performance of his parents whether they like you or not. (For details, please refer to: What performances do parents like about you? )

How do the parents behave when they meet the man for the first time?

Dress simply and generously.

Future in-laws must like simple and generous daughter-in-law, so girls should not wear them when they meet their parents for the first time, which will make you appear frivolous.

No makeup.

Although make-up is very common now, it is still unacceptable for people whose parents have wives, so girls must not wear heavy makeup when they meet their parents, but simply dress up.

Bring gifts.

In order to show your sincerity and respect, it is necessary to bring gifts to the man's parents, such as tobacco, alcohol and tea, and there must be no mistakes. What other gifts can I bring? (FYI: Take 10 gift to your boyfriend's house. Recommended P7-8)

Do not make out with your boyfriend in front of your parents.

Pay attention to your image in front of the man's parents, and never make out with your boyfriend in front of your parents, otherwise you will appear rude.

Pay attention to etiquette

Etiquette includes eating etiquette, chatting etiquette, etc. In short, girls should pay attention to the details when they meet the man's parents, such as whether to change slippers when entering the door, and not to pull rice when eating. Small details are likely to affect the impression of the man's parents on you.

What did the mother-in-law say when she gave the red envelope?

thank

When her mother-in-law gives her a red envelope, the girl must first thank her mother-in-law, because the red envelope represents her little heart, and by default you are her daughter-in-law.

Push it a little.

Under normal circumstances, when we receive a red envelope during the Chinese New Year, we will give it a little shirking. After all, people in China pay more attention to the traditional virtue of getting something for nothing, so girls can get away with it a little when they receive a red envelope from a woman, which shows that you don't pay much attention to money.

Generous acceptance, thanks again

If your mother-in-law really wants to give you a red envelope, she will still give it to you after you shirk it, so you can accept it calmly at this time. Thank her again, which shows that you are very measured and polite.

What the girl said when her mother-in-law gave her a red envelope

1, then I'll take this red envelope. Thank you, Mom!

No, mom, I appreciate your kindness. (Mother-in-law gave you a red envelope again and let you take it) Thank you, Mom!

Thank you for your kindness, then I'll accept it.

4. It's very kind of mom. Thank you for your red envelope!

5. Thank you, Mom. I accept your kindness. I will definitely live a good life with my husband!
