The fiancée’s parents should be notified by her about the purpose of this special visit. If it is possible, the fiancé should be accompanied by his parents. Engagement is a good opportunity to let the parents know each other and establish a friendly relation.
At the beginning of the visit there are gifts:
- for the fiancée – a small bouquet of her favorite flowers, best in red, which symbolizes true love,
- for the future mother-in-law – a bigger bouquet (depending on ...), best composed of traditional roses or other elegant flowers, in various colors, optionally with a box of good-sort chocolates,
- for the future father-in-law – his favorite alcohol – though of higher quality (champagne, whisky, cognac).
The best moment for culmination, i.e. official asking for the girl’s hand inmarriage, is the moment when everyone is at the table. Then the boy stands up and says something similar to: “As you all know, we love each other and decided to get married. We would like you to be the first ones to know it”.
When the fiancée’s parents express their acceptance (and the ring was not given to her earlier), the fiancé takes out the box from his jacket’s pocket and puts the ring on his future wife’s finger.
He should also kiss her lovingly.

What flowers and how big a bouquet should I buy for my fiancée and her mother for engagement? What should I say to her parents during the dinner and in which moment if we got engaged and I put the engagement ring on her finger a week ago?
