Registry
Welcome to our registry. Our wedding is a joining of two cultures. In Vietnamese tradition, gifting is made in the form of money inside a red envelope or card. This is seen as a symbol of prosperity, health, and happiness. The money specifically given at weddings is referred to as "money warding off evil spirits" and is believed to protect the person of younger generations from sickness and death. During the reception, the bride and groom "chào bàn", or table greeting, which is the customary process of going from table to table to personally thank guests for their well wishes and to collect cards and gifts. Usually, each table selects a representative to give a quick congratulatory toast to the bride and groom. In addition to the traditional Vietnamese gift of money, we also have a gift registry.
