Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

We do not have a registry but if you would like to bring a gift we are observing the Chinese tradition of giving 红包 (hóngbāo), also known as red envelopes. These envelopes will be available during our cocktail hour in case you do not have one.

Question

What are red envelopes?

Answer

Unlike Western weddings, wedding registries are uncommon in Chinese weddings. In Chinese culture, directly asking your wedding guests for gifts or money can be considered disrespectful or greedy. Therefore, instead of providing a list of gifts for guests to choose from, in Chinese weddings, the guests have the freedom to choose whatever wedding gifts to surprise the newlyweds with. That said, traditional Chinese wedding gifts such as red envelopes and gold jewelry are still usually the first choice of gifts. The red envelope is the most common and feasible Chinese wedding gift because it helps the newlyweds pay for the wedding costs and begin to establish their life together.
