Gifts
It's a Chinese wedding tradition is to give hóng bāo–a small, red envelope containing money in even denominations. Red is considered lucky in Chinese culture and the envelope is traditionally marked with the Double Happiness character (双喜). While the idea of hóng bāo may be seem rude if you're accustomed to shopping for gifts and cards, rest assured giving money is perfectly acceptable, traditional, and is considered good luck. Hóng bāo conveys the double blessing of happiness and good fortune to newly married couples. What's more, it's also practical and easy for everyone.
