9 Real Coordination Examples! Outfits Worn to a Face-to-Face Meeting Dinner How to Dress Up ♡

What Should You Wear for the Family Meet-Up Dinner?

The family meet-up dinner is where both families officially meet for the first time.

You want it to be a friendly occasion so that the two families who will soon become relatives can get along well in the future, right? ♡

Many people prepare "family meet-up pamphlets" or photo props to spark conversation for the meeting...

But before you DIY those items, it's important to think about what to wear on the day!

While it’s common for the groom's side to wear suits, the bride's side has many clothing options, which might leave you confused.

For the bride's attire during the meet-up, you can largely categorize it into:

☑ Dress

☑ Kimono (Furisode)

Unlike the formal attire worn at a wedding, there are no strict rules regarding patterns and colors at the family meet-up, which is a private setting.

However, flashy clothes or outfits with too much exposure are a NO!

In this article, we’ll introduce you to what some experienced brides wore at their family meet-up dinners. ♩

Let’s start with the brides who chose dresses ♩
