What is the significance of the wedding banquet?
1, customs and habits: customs and habits are the biggest influencing factors, which can also be said to be influenced by traditional concepts. Most people want to get married beautifully. Marriage indicates that life has entered a new stage. It is natural to announce to you that holding a grand ceremony is also a complete account of yourself.
2, parental pressure: the pressure from the elders in marriage is naturally not small, even very enlightened parents, more or less there will still be some old values. In their minds, the life events of their children are the greatest concern of the older generation, and they think they have the responsibility to give their children a beautiful wedding.
3, reciprocity: Another factor is that when others get married, they hold a wedding banquet and invite you, which is not a small expense for many people. Therefore, it seems unreasonable not to hold a wedding reception when you are married, and not to invite them to dinner when you are married.
Can I order for the wedding banquet?
Yes, but there are precautions when ordering. The whole wedding should be budgeted, and the budget of the wedding banquet should not be less. It is necessary to clearly estimate how many guests there are, and then design the wedding banquet budget according to your actual economic ability. According to the old tradition, the number of dishes for "red and white" weddings (that is, general wedding banquets) is even, which means in pairs. The number of dishes in a wedding banquet is usually eight dishes symbolizing wealth, ten dishes symbolizing perfection and twelve dishes symbolizing happiness. When making a wedding menu, first order one or two dishes to support the facade. This dish must be advanced, upgrade the whole table, and then order an attractive dish, such as celery and lily, which means a hundred years of harmony. Green vegetables are the cheapest seasonal dishes. Follow the chicken, duck and fish, and then order bean products and mushroom dishes. Pay attention to two points when ordering hot dishes: first, pay attention to the collocation of utensils, which must be beautiful; Second, don't order fish-flavored shredded pork, hairy blood curd and other low-grade dishes. This coarse dish will be demoted if it is on the wedding menu.
Who should I give the red envelope for the wedding banquet?
Gifts received at wedding banquets are usually given to newlyweds. Generally speaking, parents have many friends, many of whom have been to friends' wine tables before, and some people come to return gifts, so the gifts they receive will be recorded on a note. In fact, in the end, parents will give gifts to the young couple, especially the woman's parents, mostly for their daughters. We have a saying that "look up and marry a daughter, bow down and marry a daughter-in-law". Daughters are more delicate, so gifts are given to daughters or daughter-in-law in the end. Anyway, they are all young couples. If the young couple are in a different place, discuss two banquets, one for the woman and one for the man. It is possible that some parents from other places will receive gifts first, and their feelings will be collected by themselves. This is also reasonable. In fact, it will be left to the children in the end. Besides hosting a banquet in the hometown of both parties, some young couples may invite guests again if they have more friends at work.
