China traditional wedding should pay more attention to etiquette. There are many steps, without which the woman's family will feel very uncomfortable.
First of all, when you are ready to get married, the parents of the man should go to the woman's house to discuss, set a date, choose a way, and so on. After the decision is made, there will be a bride price.
In addition to local customs, the man should give a red envelope at the bride price, which is the real bride price. How much should I pay in advance according to the agreement? More money should be given to the rich and less money should be given to those who are not so rich. In addition, there are two yuan in the quilt when giving the bride price to the man, and two yuan in the cupboard, bed and pillow at home (and sugar, just put money in the quilt) for use after the ceremony.
After dinner on the wedding day, the man goes to the woman's house to get married and brings a lot of red envelopes. There are dozens of small pieces, and some two pieces are in it, because there will be many "troublemakers" in the woman's house that you dare not expect to make you bleed. So! ! Hehehe, got it? The woman's parents will prepare red envelopes for her son-in-law.
When leaving the woman's house for the hotel ceremony, the man's mother will prepare a red stool (just stick red paper on it) to let the daughter-in-law get off. At this time, she will ask for a red envelope, and the woman will get off when she sees it. (Generally, there is no provision for how much money. If the man has too many brothers and the woman loves to fight for property and gives too little, it may not be possible, but this is rare. At this time, the woman should prepare as many red envelopes as she wants, at least ten dollars, because there will be an elder to comb her hair (symbolic). You don't need to give a red envelope for this. In the south, there will be a girl who will bring face lotion to her sister-in-law to wash her face (symbolic).
At the formal ceremony, the man's parents will give him a red envelope, which is odd. This is special. It means that the bride is one in a thousand or a good girl and daughter-in-law in a thousand. Therefore, it is necessary to add a piece. When we got married, it was 1000 1. When the conditions are good now, it is generally this number, and in rural areas it is 100 1 or more. However, those with rich conditions are one in a hundred. (This eleven thousand is the sum of two parents: one is 5000 and the other is 500 1. Then there is the man's immediate elders (such as grandfather, grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, etc.). These are people's random wishes. Finally, on the wine table, when the woman toasts the man, the man's immediate elders will give him red envelopes (such as aunts and aunts). That is, parents, brothers and sisters and grandparents, grandmothers and grandfathers. Finally, ask the man to prepare an opened red envelope for the woman's brother, because this box is very important. There are clothes your man bought for her at the bride price, and money from both parents. This money is usually given by the woman's family. Double the man's house and lock it. The key should be kept by the woman's brother, and then the man will give the woman's brother a red envelope. ! !
However, traditional western-style weddings are not so complicated. Because western-style weddings are witnessed, in the church, the woman's father gives her daughter to her son-in-law and asks the priest to recite scriptures. Exchange rings, kiss and get a red envelope. Just pay the bride price according to China tradition before marriage. And the whole process should be quiet, because the church is sacred and the wedding is sacred and serious. Only when the priest allows both sides to kiss can there be sound and excitement.
A wedding that combines Chinese and western culture, besides not going to church and inviting a priest, is to add up the first two. This kind of wedding is sacred and lively.
2. How to send a red envelope on the wedding day?
Before the newcomer sends a red envelope, "three looks" is the most critical!
"Look at the wedding custom". If there is no custom of returning gifts in your place, there is no need to return red envelopes to the guests.
Second, "look at the relationship." Although everyone attended your wedding, the red envelopes you gave to bridesmaids and groomsmen are definitely different from those you gave to motorcyclists. The better the relationship, the more you pay ~
Third, "watch the lucky draw", no matter whether the wedding atmosphere is luxurious or simple, a good lucky draw with a red envelope amount is a must.

Sometimes for luck, we will give a non-integer number, such as 399 (for a long time), 588, 666, 888 and so on. According to the relationship between intimacy and distance, of course, we should also combine our own economic strength. Integers are generally more than 200,400,600,800.
Give it to colleagues, usually 200 or 400, depending on the relationship between you, but it is best to give the same to avoid being gossiped by others.
Better friends or classmates usually pack 600 or 800, and those with better conditions can also pack 1000.
Relatives, such as your own brothers and sisters, really depend on your own situation. Tens of thousands of good conditions are not too much, and those with poor conditions have to be above 1000. As for the average relative, it is controlled at around 1000.
