Registry / Red Envelopes
We do not have a traditional registry as your presence is our greatest gift. If you would still like to give us a gift, we would appreciate if you followed Chinese traditions.
In the Chinese culture, guests give red envelopes (hóngbāo / 红包) with cash to the couple as wedding gifts. Red symbolizes happiness, prosperity and good luck.
We will provide red envelopes at the wedding for electronic or physical gifts.
Superstition is also engrained within the culture. Typically, even numbers are considered auspicious because they come in pairs. The number "8" (bā / 八) sounds like fortune (fā / 發) in Chinese and is believed to carry a prosperous meaning. The only unlucky even number is number "4" (sì / 四) , which sounds like death (sǐ / 死) and is believed to be an unlucky omen.
For all the days along the way
