Vietnamese Gifting Tradition

We do not have a wedding registry, but if you would like to give a monetary gift for our wedding, we would appreciate it.


We chose to follow the Vietnamese Gifting Tradition.


During the reception, the bride and groom "chào bàn", or table greeting, which is the customary process of visiting each table to personally thank guests for their well wishes and to collect cards and gifts. Usually, each table selects a representative to give a quick congratulatory toast to the bride and groom.


Red envelopes can be given to the couple during the chào bàn. The giving of red envelopes is a way to symbolically bestow happiness, luck, and good wishes to the couple.
