Should You Create an Invitation for the Meet the Families Dinner?

By the way, do you plan to create an "invitation" for the Meet the Families dinner?

Typically, the couple checks with their own parents about their availability, arranges the details, and then communicates the date and location to their parents... this process is usually standard.

However, in recent times, some couples have started sending out "invitations" to their parents after reporting the date♡

What to include in the invitation:

① Greeting

② Date and Time

③ Location

This is a simple format＊ but writing it by hand allows you to convey "I'm looking forward to it" personally, and including the date and location helps avoid any miscommunication, which is recommended♩

Moreover, it becomes a memento from the meeting, and it gives the in-laws the impression of having a "well-prepared daughter-in-law"♡
