i need a honest opinion and feedback... i'm 27 this year and
chinese
when you guys attend a chinese wedding, do you label your names
on the red packets? i mean like normally when you arrive, you'll go
to the reception area, sign in and drop your red packets into those
collection boxes, do you actually label your names at the back of
the red packets?
no one actually taught me to do that... but i was questioned by
my friend who got married and she accused me of not giving a red
packet for her wedding banquet... she said she searched the boxes
but didn't found my name and she had difficulties answering to her
husband who was disappointed that one of her friends turned up
without a red packet. she asked if i labelled my red
packet and i was quite surprised... i said no and i told her
that no one ever taught me to label my name, even my mum
didn't taught me that...
she also said that it's not the money part but as a significance
of congratulation... i did include a photoframe which i gave her
during the wedding dinner but she said she was disappointed that i
gave her that only... and the wedding dinner was very expensive.
(it was at Raffles Hotel)
then she claimed that all her guests labelled their red packets
so next time, when my friend attends their weddings, she will
know how much to put inside the "ang pow".
i would like to ask if it's a practice to label your
red packets for weddings... cos' i was not taught so...
if all her guests, except you, labelled their red packets, then
the only one without a label would be yours, right ?
