I am from Guangdong, too. This is the case here in Guangdong. The man brought a gift to the woman to propose marriage, and then the woman's parents said they wanted a gift (that is, money to buy sugar), so they ordered a gift for XX, and then both parents set a good day to get married. People are invited separately. The man usually invites people to be grand, and the woman usually buys candy for relatives to eat. Sugar is sent to relatives, and relatives will wrap a red envelope. Generally, money will be given when engaged, and the money for inviting people will be handled by the woman's family. In Guangdong, women generally don't invite people, just buy sugar.
This man's party must be held. I wish you happiness
