[quote=GAFFER,359599]Red envelopes are a way of giving money on special occasions. Traditionally the happy couple will be given red envelopes on their wedding day and perhaps when their baby is born. Relatives also give them to children at festivals such as Spring Festival. Adult children give them to parents. Marriage traditions vary in different parts of China but are most prevalent out of the cities. A groom might be expected to pay a dowry to his brides parents in some areas....especially if he is foreign and perceived to be wealthy. To be polite you should eat with chopsticks.... try a good selection of what is offered even if you have no idea what it is (your fiancee should help you with this)....and drinking the wine each time the host picks up his glass and toasts. Remember the wine is not wine as we know it. Rice wine can be very strong 50% is not unusual..and your glass may never seem to empty. [/quote]
