What to say when you first meet your girlfriends parents?

What to wear when meeting girlfriends parents?
A general rule of thumb is to dress “business casual.” A button-down shirt and slacks is appropriate for most occasions. Bring a gift. Especially if you’re meeting at their house, you’ll get bonus points for bringing a small gift.
What should you not do when you meet someone’s parents?
Your stance is your stance, but you should always at least appear to be empathetic toward their world views. Don’t get into any heated debates. Keep away from the P.D.A. There should be no public displays of affection when meeting the parents.
What should I bring my partner’s parents for our first meeting?
If you know something specific about the family (the mom collects candles or the dad loves BBQ sauce), bring your partner’s parents something unique that you know they would love. A present shows that you care, you’re grateful you’re being invited into their home, and you put some deliberate thought and effort into the first meeting.
How to meet your lover’s parental unit?
One of things that makes meeting your lover’s parental unit so damn weird is that it’s a formal first introduction. It helps if you break the ice beforehand by simply showing your face or speaking to them briefly in a casual setting.
What to wear to a first date with your partner’s parents?
So when you’re meeting your partner’s parents, dress like it’s a job interview or a holiday. You don’t have to wear a power suit or a ballgown, but conservative-ish is best. For example, try jeans and a blouse, a cute dress, or a skirt and a sweater, all paired off with some statement jewelry. Remember, you can only make a first impression once.
