7 Tips to Formally Ask for Her Hand

5. Be conscious about the venue

It’s preferable to do the needful by inviting them over to your home or visiting theirs. A formal sit-down dinner that gives you enough privacy is also a good venue. Don’t go to noisy places elsewhere.

6. Give them good reasons for saying yes

If you feel her folks are a bit on the stricter side, and have huge expectations from their prospective son-in-law, you could think of convincing things to say to them. Explain to them how much you love their daughter, how you completely believe in the institution of marriage, and how nicely you would take care of her.

7. Don’t ask the parents before the daughter

Getting all ready, physically as well as mentally to ask her parents, getting their approval and then informing your girl who may not even be interested in marriage is what most people would term as making a fool of yourself. Propose your girlfriend and be sure she is in it for the long haul as much as you are. Asking her folks is the next step.
