Your presence at our celebration is the greatest gift of all. However, if you would like to bless us with a gift we would truly cherish a monetary gift. We will incorporate the bride's Vietnamese tradition of the lucky red envelope into our blended wedding celebration.
During dinner time, the parents and often times part of the wedding party will escort the bride and groom to each table to thank the guests and to receive their gifts; this is your opportunity to congratulate the couple and bless them with your gift. This tradition is called “chào bàn”.
Red envelopes will be available if you would like to participate in the tradition of the lucky red envelope. Feel free to leave a sweet note for the newlyweds. During this time guests will be able to see the bride and groom in a traditional Vietnamese dress called áo dài.
