Tip of the Day: After you get engaged, make plans for both sets of families to celebrate in a casual setting — especially if they haven't met yet — before it's time to dive into the anxiety-provoking talks about budget and who wishes to pay for what. If parents are on friendly terms, it’s likely they’ll all go into this without any sense of being territorial or judgmental about what ‘the other side’ must be like, based on assumptions about where they live and their lifestyle. A nice dinner and no wedding talk allowed is a great place to start!
Also, it's a nice gesture to invite your siblings to attend and get to know each other as well, since you're all going to be family now.
