There are also particularities in sealing red envelopes for weddings, so how many red envelopes are suitable for weddings and the particularities of sealing red envelopes for weddings. Let’s take a closer look.
Why send red envelopes when getting married?
When a couple holds a wedding, it has become a "natural thing" for the relatives and friends who come to attend to send their blessings and a gift along with them. As the saying goes, "favors are debts", but everyone knows that this gift does not just become something in the pocket. If the other party is not married yet, then this "debt" will have to be repaid sooner or later. And according to the usual practice, it will be increased according to the current market situation, which is equivalent to returning the principal with interest to others. From this point of view, if newlyweds are not good at managing gifts, it will bring additional burdens in the future. Therefore, try not to spend this "favor loan" easily, but plan to use it.
Gift form:
It can be divided into advance gift and on-site gift. Giving in advance is mostly used for people you can meet often, while giving on-site is used for people you don't usually see. You don’t need to seal the red envelope if you give it in advance, but you must put it in the red envelope if you give it on site, otherwise it will be very rude.

Things to note when sending wedding red envelopes

It is believed that 8 means that a person will be successful one day. It can be extended to wish the newlyweds a better life. What number is a good number to give as a wedding gift? Some people think that if you just give an integer without a mantissa or anything like that, it would be unlucky if you don’t have a big number. Therefore, when giving gifts, you can give them according to local customs. If you like whole numbers, give integer gifts; if you like a mantissa, give an auspicious non-integer gift.
2. If there is no local custom of round numbers, then you can use your imagination. If you budget to send a gift of between 100-300, the auspicious numbers are 1314 (for a lifetime), 1588 (the picture shows me making progress for a lifetime), 1666 (life is smooth and smooth), 1688 (making progress all the way), 1888 (The meaning of a lifetime of love), 1999 (a long-lasting marriage), 2009 (a long-lasting marriage between two people), 2188, 2998 and other numbers can be given.

In most places, the number 6 and the number 8 are the main auspicious numbers, and there is even a popular jingle, "Six-six great fortunes, six-six blessings", "Go all the way, get good, never leave." eight?. If you want to give auspicious numbers, and the newlyweds don’t pay attention to round numbers, then you can show some auspicious digital creativity around the numbers 6 and 8.
4. There is also a more special situation of gift money, that is, the mother-in-law sends a red envelope to the daughter-in-law. The appropriate amount of wedding gift money is appropriate. Based on the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, in wedding celebrations, idioms such as "pick one in a hundred" are often used to develop some creativity, such as giving numerical gifts such as 1001 (choose one in a thousand), 10001 (choose one in a thousand), expressing that the mother-in-law appreciates that this daughter-in-law is rare A good girl is the affirmation and welcome to your daughter-in-law.
5. The number 4 (death) is probably the most taboo number when it comes to wedding gifts, followed by 3 (lost), then 5 (nothing) and 7 (in ancient times, women who committed seven crimes were divorced). However, 4 is usually taboo, after all, this word feels too obvious to people. If you want to give it to your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, and you still love her, what number is good for the wedding gift? I want to give it 13520 (I will love you forever) or 14520 (I will love you forever).
