Q + A
Do we need to download a Cantonese Translation app?
No, you don't have to as most of the people here speak English unless you'd like to have a conversation with the person.
What's the best way to travel around in HK?
Depending on where you are and where you are going, so it's hard to tell. But the easiest is by tram, train (MTR) or taxi.
Can we use Uber in HK?
Yes, you can. The easiest if you don't speak Cantonese but most of the drivers understand English locations. Note: It is more expensive than the local taxi though.
Is there an after party venue?
No.
Do you have gift registry?
No, we don't.
We've decided NOT to have gift registry as we would like our family and friends to have freedom of choices to give.
So there will be "Laisee/Hongbao"/Red envelopes available at the reception.
Laisee/ Hong Bao / Red Envelope
A red envelope, red packet, laisee, hongbao or ang pau is a gift of money given during holidays or for special occasions such as weddings, graduations, and birthdays.
Red envelopes containing cash, known as laisee in Cantonese and hongbao in Mandarin, are gifts presented at social and family gatherings such as weddings or holidays such as Chinese New Year; they are also gifted to guests as a gesture of hospitality. The red colour of the envelope symbolises good luck and wards off evil spirits.
At wedding banquets, the amount offered is usually intended to cover the cost of the attendees as well as signify goodwill to the newlyweds. The amounts given are often recorded in ceremonial ledgers for the new couple to keep.
How's the weather in Oct?
Still warm around 28°C, but do bring a cardigan or jumper since it gets kinda cold in the air-con area in HK
Shall you bring travellers cheques?
It's up to you. The most convenience payments in HK is via Credit Card/Octopus (which allows you to pay most of the places in HK along for transportation too)/Cash
What's the dress code for the Wedding Reception?
1920's attire or Peaky Blinder's inspiration
Which colour do you recommend for ladies to dress?
Ladies, I've heard in some customs, guests should not wear white/ivory/cream as in NOT to outshine the bride. Please wear any colours that suits you and make you comfortable, especially if you're buying a new dress. Buy something that you'd wear it again. Ivory & Cream are 1920's colours which is our theme dress code. I'd love all the ladies are going to be as beautiful as they should be and gentlemen as handsome as my husband is going to be =)
What power plug/adaptor does HK uses?
UK Plug or Type G.
How much does each activity cost?
Please refer to the "Itinerary" page, there are estimate prices on each activity.
I'd like to join some of the activities or all the activities, how can I go about it?
Please RSVP accordingly from the website. If there's no RSVP required, just join in or show up on the day.
