Gifts
In lieu of physical gifts the bride & groom respectfully request only monetary gifts.
In Hong Kong culture, the guests usually give red packets at weddings to the newly married couple which are viewed as a blessing of good fortune for the couple's future.
The packets containing cash or check, called Lai See in Cantonese (利是 or 利事) is a traditional gift given at weddings. The monetary amount is not as significant as what the envelope symbolizes, which is a wish for luck for the recipient.
To honor this tradition, a card box will be available at the marriage celebration dinner to receive your generous gifts.
