Meeting your partner's parents for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but following some basic tips will help make a great first impression. Be respectful, use manners, engage in polite small talk, and dress appropriately for the occasion. Avoid being on your phone too much or having loud notifications interrupt conversations. Bringing a homemade gift, like baked goods, shows effort was made without the risk of alcohol. Ask your partner about their parents' interests beforehand so you have solid conversation topics prepared. With confidence and good etiquette, you are sure to leave them wanting to invite you back again.
