What to expect at a Vietnamese wedding reception?
Vietnamese wedding receptions often follow the same format as a typical American reception, with a grand entrance, first dance, toasts, cake cutting, games, dancing, and more. Additional customs in Vietnamese weddings are Welcome Photos, Table Greetings and a Lion Dance.
Welcome Photos – The bride and groom stand at the entrance of the reception venue and take a picture with each guest as they arrive. These photos are printed during the reception and given as souvenirs before guests leave.
Table Greetings – To show their gratitude and respect, the bride and groom visit each table during the reception. It’s during this time that guests present the newlyweds with gifts.
Lion Dance – The lively dance, accompanied by rhythmic music and vibrant costumes, is thought to ward off evil spirits and bring prosperity to the newlyweds.
Do we have a registry?
Your love, laughter, and presence at our wedding is the greatest gift of all. However, if you wish to honor us with a gift, a cash gift would be very welcome.
