[quote=JAVAGURL ,19848]Hello there! I don't know how much difference Chinese weddings are in China as oppose to Chinese weddings in America. I ones I went to in the states are pretty similiar to the ones back home. Suprisingly, Chinese couples here continues to celebrate their big day the traditional way.Here's what you can expect in a Chinese wedding:-- You can wear something casual. If you like the QiPao (oriental slit dress), you can wear that too. A nice blouse with slacks or skirt should be ok. Make sure you're warm too especially at this time of the year. -- in terms of gift, get couples anything you think may fit their newly wed liftstyle. Afterall, it's the thoughts that count. I'm sure most weddings are like that no matter their culture. If you are planning to get jewelry, keep in mind, most Chinese are fond of jade. It is believed that the longer you wear the jade, the greener it gets. That green color symbolize prosperity and health. -- before you enter the dinner reception, you will need to sign in. Sometimes it's a guest book. Sometimes it's an embroidered cloth. There is also a place for you to put your gift for the couple. -- always make sure you have "red envelope (hon bao)" for the couple during TEA TOASTING. During the dinner reception, the bride will change outfits and walk around with the groom along with close family members to each table toasting their guests. That's when you give them the red enveope, thank them for the wonderful event, and wish them well. That's all I can think of hehe. Enjoy![/quote]
