The rule of returning home within three days

On the third day after the wedding, the bride and groom return to their bride’s home together, which is called “returning home in three days.” On the one hand, they visited and thanked their parents-in-law for their hard work, and on the other hand, they wished they were safe. The couple was happy. The young couple had to rush back to their in-laws' house that day because there was a saying that newlyweds could not have an empty house for a month.

The first process of the homecoming banquet is to determine the date of homecoming. Different cities have different rules. In some cities, the homecoming banquet is held within a week, and in some, the homecoming banquet is held on the third day after the wedding. During the banquet, when you return home, you need to express your gratitude according to local customs. Those who need to thank are your parents, guests, and heaven and earth.

You need to bring a gift to the homecoming banquet, and you cannot come home empty-handed. This is a thank you to your parents for their nurturing over the past two decades. It is also a kind of courtesy and enhances the relationship between your son-in-law and his parents. Everyone can integrate into the family more quickly and have a formal start to future life exchanges. The son-in-law must express his determination in front of his parents-in-law.

Finally, many homecoming banquets will have a ceremony, and the matchmaker will also be invited to participate to express gratitude to the matchmaker for her guidance and the success of the good marriage. The focus is on the relatives, friends, and parents on the mother's side. To give thanks, you can perform some short rituals.
