How Much Does An Average Introduction Cost? by MyJwell: 2:32pm On Dec 02, 2013
pls what's the average cost for an introduction...just introduction...not with engagement o?

what are the requirement the groom-to-be is expected to take along and how much does it cost in the average?

is it allowed at this stage for the couple-to-be wear the same cloth?

Oh well, it all depends on where your fiancée is from.

Where I come from, they have a well laid out list. So, you don't have to start asking what to buy. You collect the list, buy the things meant for only intro and take them down there. So let your fiancée ask her father what their intro entails.

As for wearing "uniform", i wouldn't advise that, not at this stage. Wear different outfits for now. You have ample time to wear "Andco". smiley

you need about N10,000.
fruits & soft drinks & a bit of general knowledge of her family. you would be asked to identify some members of her family by their names.

Reason I said it depends on the culture. The items the groom-to-be will bring for introduction in my place include;

* 3 Gallons of Palm wine
* 5 Cartons of Beer
* 3 bottles of Hot drink
* 1 carton of Malt drink. grin

Where I come from, you only go with fruits and soft drink if its an informal visit, that is, just going to know your fiancée's family/people.

Again, let your fiancée ask her father. He should know better.

Wait ooooo, lemme get this. . . Engagement is same as Traditional marriage right? When you do the main wine carrying and paying of bride price?
Re: How Much Does An Average Introduction Cost? by everyday: 8:46pm On Dec 02, 2013

Yes that's Engagement...Traditional wedding...but the one i'm talking about is just the introduction ceremony...where the groom-to-be is introduced to the bride-to-be family officially for the first time

I was correct then. Did my intro few weeks ago so I should know better. The groom-to-be had to provide those items i listed above, which came to about 30k in all.

Different strokes for different folks sha.

It depends

Cut your coat according to your cloth

You can decide to spend more or less in respective of how your pocket weighs

Contact your fiancee family for the list...
