Chinese wedding


What is the gift of traditional Chinese marriage ... In fact, there are three answers to this question.

It is the first gift that the groom's family to address the family of the bride. Then there are the gifts that the guests offer married. And finally, there are these that offer the bride and groom to their guests at the wedding.

Once the terms of the marriage debate, and the compatibility of the respective dates of birth confirmed by a dessert, the family of the young man address the present to the family of the bride. There is usually money, jewelry, cakes, delicatessen, wines and liqueurs. Gifts are sent over a period of several days, and in the Chinese tradition, they must be used to worship ancestors.

The gifts of the guests for the bride and groom are not as sophisticated. They are usually red envelopes containing cash.

In turn, the bride and groom offer small presents to their guests: Chinese biscuit, little pots of lavender, tea cups porcelain, small silk pouches filled with jasmine tea, bean shoots magical custom, confectionery, oil lamps, pots pourri, and many other small gifts, appreciated by the guests.

No respect, gifts are generally not open to the guests.
