In the traditional culture of China, gold, silver and red are all auspicious symbols. Also, because red envelopes are filled with banknotes, giving red envelopes has become a particularly popular wedding gift. However, in modern society, not everyone thinks it is necessary to give red envelopes.
First of all, whether to give a red envelope should be decided according to one's economic ability and closeness. If you are close to the newlyweds and economic conditions permit, you can consider sending red envelopes. However, if your financial situation is tight, or you are not very close to new people, you can also send some other small gifts or greeting cards.
Secondly, giving red envelopes is also related to local customs. For example, in some areas, it is standard etiquette to send red envelopes at weddings, while in other areas, it is more inclined to send some practical items. Therefore, we need to consider the local cultural background and etiquette when choosing gifts.
Finally, as a wedding guest, the key is to bring blessings and joy to the couple. Whether you choose to send red envelopes or other gifts, you should be full of sincerity and care. On this special day, it is most important for newcomers to feel your sincere blessing.
