The first meeting with the parents of your significant other is a very exciting event.

If you want to make a good impression on older people, prepare for the meeting in advance.

You should ask your partner about his parents, at least to find out their names, and at most to get acquainted with the traditions of the family you intend to become a part of.

Don't forget that it is customary to come to visit with gifts.

If you're struggling to figure out what to get your boyfriend or girlfriend's parents, take advice from matchmaker Susan Trombetti.

According to her, at a meeting with a large number of people, do not present a gift to each of those present.

Instead, prepare a thoughtful gift for the host.

Have your partner suggest things that their parents like – it could be a certain type of flower, cookies from their favorite bakery, etc.

You don't have to bring a fancy piece of art or a bottle of collectible alcohol, the matchmaker assures, a small personal gesture is enough: it is guaranteed to help you make a good impression.
