It’s like this over there. I’m in Poyang, Jiangxi. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of engagement, one is in the man’s house, called “getting married”, and the other is in the woman’s house, called “getting things done”.

In view of the latter situation, the specificprocess is that the man first takespart of the wedding gift money for the engagement of the woman’s family. Thispart of the money is mainly used to buy clothes for the bride-to-be, set upseveral tables of engagement wine and give red envelopes to the relatives of the woman (when the red envelopes are held at the woman’s family, the relatives will return them, mainly for fun).

Secondly, on the day of engagement, the woman will take the man to visit relatives, and take alcohol, tobacco, etc. to her relatives’ home, and relatives will return the gift to the man on the same day according to the situation of alcohol and tobacco.

Do the relatives of the woman who went to the man’s wedding accompany the ceremony?

yes.

The amount of gifts for the woman’s relatives can be determined according to their own actual situation and relationship. Generally speaking, it is suggested to determine the amount of gifts according to their own economic ability and the relationshipbetween relatives.

If your financial strength is limited, you can appropriately reduce the amount of gifts; If you have a close relationshipwith the woman’s relatives, you can appropriately increase the amount of gifts.

In short, the amount of gifts should be decided by ourselves, and we should not care too much about the amount of gifts, but should take the blessing of newcomers as the mainpurpose.

Should the bride give gifts to her in-laws when she goes through the door?

I’ve been in the house for almost three years and I’ve never bought anything for them, and I don’t need them to buy or give me money

Do I need a gift to attend the engagementparty?

In some areas of China, if the couple are engaged, they also need to be given a gift. If a red envelope is given with the gift at this time, it is suggested that the amount of the red envelope for the couple is 300~600. If the relationshipwith him is really very close, then it is noproblem for the amount of the red envelope to be large, which can be determined according to their own economic conditions.
