Are you going to meet your partner's parents? This is an important step in your relationship that might make you nervous. You probably know the saying, ‘You only get one chance to make a first impression.’ 

Is the tension starting to build up already? No need for nerves, we will help you on your way.

A new milestone

What a nice uniqueness, you get to meet your in-laws. An important new milestone, as these are likely to be prominent people in your partners' life. So this is something to celebrate and cherish. 

What activity is planned? Will you join them for dinner, a nice walk, or have you planned another specific activity? Take initiative and invite them for a cosy and simple dinner. Whether you are a cooking prince(s) or can only prepare simple dishes, it is a nice time to get to know each other quietly. Be authentic and definitely don't pretend to be better or different than you are. This goes from the dish you prepare, to what you wear to the first meeting.

It’s all in the details

Thinking of an extra touch? Ask your partner what his/her parents like to eat, drink, listen to ... And incorporate this into your evening! For example, briefly put on their favourite music, make their favourite dessert or provide a glass of wine that can be savoured. Light some candles to make the evening extra cozy and enjoy the moment.

Want to go one step further? Then provide a gift. A lovely scented candle for example, to win them over instantly. A thoughtful gesture, isn't it?

You got this! They'll probably be fans of yours in no time.
