For those who did Pre-Cana in a couple's home

Did you bring anything to the host/hostess???? My mom asked me if i was picking up a dessert! Wasn't sure what is proper or expected.

Jenn maybe if we did bring something, they would have put out the good furniture and we all wouldnt have gone home with back aches!!

I don't remember if I brought anything the first night, but we did end up alternating making something for dessert.

I would bring something, if not food, flowers or something like that.

We really enjoyed precana. It was an opportunity to sort of analyze the relationship in a good way.

Hope it's a good experience for you and your FH!

ETS: Our pre-cana was one-on-one, or two-on-two.

Nope. That's what the payment for Pre Cana was for

We brought munchkins with us the first time we met in their home -after that, the couple always put stuff out. But most of the other couples also came with something.

Re: For those who did Pre-Cana in a couple's home

We never brought anything nor did they serve anything. We had 4 other couples in our group and no one brought anything. The last night of Pre-Cana they had a little wine and cheese party for us but other than no food.

We didn't bring anything, they had soda, coffee and cookies out every night. We had to sit on folding chairs and they were SO UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!

Re: For those who did Pre-Cana in a couple's home

thanks ladies!! maybe i'll bring something small the first meeting (like Munchkins) and see what others do. my biggest fear is to be the only couple that show up empty-handed!!!!!

Re: For those who did Pre-Cana in a couple's home

I think it's nice to bring a little something. If you now how many will be there, you can buy accordingly. Munchins is fine

Re: For those who did Pre-Cana in a couple's home

We never brought anything because they served donuts, etc. there, however, when it was over we had something sent to the house as a Thank You.

We brought a box of Munchkins the first night bc we thought that was the night we were having dinner together.....On the real night of the dinner () we brought a tin of cookies...
