Congrats on your engagement!
As a Bride-To-Be, planning a traditional Vietnamese engagement alongside a wedding ceremony is no easy fete! Thankfully, the engagement is often a collaborative effort with your parents and loved ones. You’ve heard that saying failure to plan is planning to fail? And if you’re like me, planning to fail is not an option.
A Lễ Hỏi is the ultimate first impression–it will be the Groom’s family’s first formal meeting with the Bride’s Family. But where to start? How to even get a constructive conversation going in the right direction?
Without further ado, two FREE printables that make planning a traditional Vietnamese engagement a piece of cake!
- Lễ Hỏi Prep Checklist: A To-Do list for the Bride, the Groom and a blank To-Do checklist template to customize your traditional Vietnamese engagement
- Lễ Hỏi Procession Guide: A written play-by-play of a Lễ Hỏi ceremony with thoughtful tips
For the full context behind these guides, check out Matron of Style’s Lễ Hỏi Prep and Lễ Hỏi Procession under Vietnamese Wedding Traditions.
Happy planning!

After finding this blog, I am so happy I could cry. Thank you so much!
Hi Joanne! You are so welcome and the pleasure is all mine! Feel free to shoot me an email when questions come up! Whether it’s about traditions or style, I’m here to help! Sorry, so late on the reply <3
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is exactly what I am looking for. I am expecting to plan a mixed Vietnamese/American wedding in the new future (I am American and my boyfriend is Viet). I really want to incorporate as many Vietnamese traditions as possible and particularly am a little stressed about the details of the Le Hoi! I can already tell your blog is going to be incredibly useful and I just want to pass along my gratitude!
