How many red envelopes do friends get for marriage? What problems should we pay attention to in the

The new year is coming soon. Many people choose to get married before and after the new year. As relatives and friends attending the wedding, in addition to blessing, red envelopes are essential. How many red envelopes do you need to prepare for the wedding? Let me introduce it to you today.

1、 How many days are there for the Chinese new year this year

The Spring Festival in 2020 is on January 25. The previous day's new year's Eve is also the day when our Spring Festival holiday begins. From January 3 today, it is only 21 days from the day of new year's Eve and 22 days from the day of Spring Festival! If you want to get married or get a license during the new year, it should be noted that the Civil Affairs Bureau does not work on New Year's Eve. If you want to get a license, you can only get it in advance or after the holiday!

2、 Pay attention to giving red envelopes at weddings

1. Refer to the local gift market

For example, ordinary local friends need to pack 600. If they have a good relationship with new people, it can be appropriately increased to 800 or 1000. If it is a couple or husband and wife, the amount should be doubled on a single person basis, or slightly less than the doubling. For example, one person should pack 600, and two people should pack at least 1000.

2. You can follow the principle of reciprocity

Some couples have attended their own weddings before. Then there should be more red envelopes than each other. For example, when the new couple wrapped 500 for themselves, they could give 600 or 800 as gifts. If the interval between two weddings is short, you can add less. If the interval is long, you should add more.

3. The amount of red envelopes should also pay attention to numbers

The most common numbers are numbers with 6 and 8 and should be even numbers. For example, 600, 800, 1600, 1800, etc. The accompanying gifts are usually in the number of 100, and few bring change to facilitate the final sealing into the red envelope. In addition, according to the preferences of Chinese people, 4 is a taboo number, and 3 should also be avoided when accompanying gifts because of the homonym 'San'.

Determining the amount of red envelopes should also refer to the grade of the wedding banquet. Generally speaking, if the specification of the wedding banquet is relatively high, the accompanying gifts of guests should also be appropriately higher. So are your red envelopes really ready? Don't forget to refer to the above precautions!
