In Chinese weddings, when you invite your friends, you also invite their relatives and families as well. It can definitely add up.
And it's not just you inviting people, but your parents and their parents.
It's not uncommon to actually not know 2/3s of the people at your wedding.
The best part however is that each guest will give you a "red envelope" of money. It's basically the wedding gift. The more people you invite, the more money you can possibly make (even after the expenses of the wedding).
This money is then used for the new coupe to start their family.
- rahimnathwani 8y agoI was chatting with a retired couple. They told me that wedding red envelopes are the majority of their monthly expenditure. They're at the age where all their friends' kids are getting married. (They don't live in the capital, so I guess their rent is cheap or they own their apartment.)
