2 – Do your study and research about your spouse’s family

How? Well, you can ask your girlfriend / boyfriend about their family. For e.g. what are their likes and dislikes or what are they most interested in etc. This will help you take a step towards going the “right direction”.  After all, these small details will provide a big benefit for you.

3 – Well-dressed

It’s good to ditch your baggy pants or shiny clothes. Why? It’s because it’ll give a false impression at first sight itself. Yes, see to it that the clothes you wear are well ironed and well managed too.

4 – Shake hands, bow down in front of elders and smile

Once you see your in-laws just greet them with a handshake or with bow and a sweet smile. It shows that “good to see you” attitude in a positive way. No doubt, smile is needed.

5 – Gifts? Not necessary it has to be an expensive one !

Yes, don’t think too much. At least you can buy beautiful flowers for your mother in-law. Isn’t it?

Or ask your partner about what his/her parents might like the most.

6 – Show interest

Once the conversation starts between you and your in-laws just “be attentive”. Your in-laws might ask you to repeat the sentence. Who knows? Just be alert.

And, yes don’t tap your foot. This shows that you’re disinterested in the conversation or too nervous.

7 – Don’t be in a hurry

It might be a little tricky at first but don’t show your in-laws that you’re in a hurry. Yes, there are many who wants to get rid out of these situations. But, make sure you’re not that person.

8 – Don’t FAKE it

Yes, impressing doesn’t mean showing off or faking off as well. Just be who you are and don’t overact on things. Not even a try. Just understand your in-laws can be much smarter than you my friend. So, take it easy and be YOU.
