Wedding Gift
Our Wedding Gift Tradition: The Red Envelope
As we prepare for our big day, many of you have kindly asked about a wedding registry. We have chosen not to accept physical gifts and instead are honoring the Chinese tradition of Hongbao, or the Red Envelope Fund.
In this tradition, guests give a red envelope with a monetary gift as a symbol of good luck, happiness, and blessings for the couple’s future.
If you wish to give, we would be deeply grateful for a contribution to our Red Envelope Fund as we begin our life together.
For those participating, it is customary to give crisp, new bills and choose lucky numbers—especially amounts ending in 8 (wealth) or 9 (longevity). The number 4 is typically avoided. Red Envelopes will be provided at a table when guests arrive at the venue. Please also sign our guest book.
Most importantly, your presence is the greatest gift of all. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
For all the days along the way
