The Chinese tea ceremony is conducted on the day of the wedding and sees the bride and groom serve tea to their parents, in-laws, and other family members. Symbolizing the union of two families, it is a meaningful part of the day, typically taking place inside the couple’s respective family homes.
Tea ceremonies are traditionally limited to the immediate family of the Bride and Groom. However, we welcome extra guests who want to celebrate with us. Please contact Annie or Kin for details.
You could bring the couple a lucky red envelope (lai see) with money tucked inside. Traditionally at Chinese weddings the couple is given "lucky money" rather than gifts.
These games are based on the Chinese tradition where the groom, upon arriving at the bride's house to take her to the wedding ceremony, is greeted by the bride's "protective" friends. Before they allow him to enter the house to fetch his bride, the groom has to perform physical feats (such as push-ups), answer difficult questions, and even pay off the girls with a lucky red envelope filled with money. Some couples still play bridesmaid games today: a modern day version could be for the bride and her maids to gather their hands together and ask the groom pick out his bride's hand from the bunch.
