Who pays the bill if you have been invited out for dinner to meet the parents of your fiancee?

== == Whoever had the idea of going out to dinner would typically pay. There is no written rule per say and as times, customs and traditions change, many "social norms" are no longer the norm. As the person above stated, whoever had the idea to go out could pay. Another suggestion would be for the groom to pay. Obviously, if he is in the financial means/position to afford the outing, then paying could constitute a kind gesture, which also shows that he can/does have the means to care for his future bride, and that he already considers her family, part of his own. Just my two cents ;) It also Depends alitlle on the Situation Also 50/50 is a good choice
