A Must-Have for Social and Family Gatherings:
Chinese New Year is a red envelope season. But red envelopes are not limited to Chinese New Year. It is common to give a red envelope during some special occasions, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, wedding, graduation, the birth of a baby, or a senior person’s birthday. It is a traditional way to wish good luck and share blessings.
When you receive a red packet from someone else:
1. Always accept it with both hands as this shows respect and thanks.
2. When you receive a red envelope, you should express thanks and greet the giver with a pleasing, auspicious phrase.
3. Never open your red envelope in front of the person who just gave it to you. You should do it in private or when you get home.
When you give a red packet to someone else:
1. It’s a tradition to put crisp, new bills inside a Chinese New Year red envelope. Giving dirty or wrinkled bills is in bad taste. In the week leading up to Chinese New Year, many people stand in long queues at banks to exchange old bills for new ones.
2. You’re supposed to avoid putting coins in the envelopes.
3. Avoid giving any denominations of money with four as this is considered bad luck!
4. Prepare red envelopes in advance and always carry some envelopes with you during all 16 days of Chinese New Year (from New Year’s Eve to the Lantern Festival) in case you bump into someone that you may need to give an envelope to.
5. You’d better put different denominations in differently designed red envelopes so that you can quickly and tactfully discern whether you’re giving away 100 yuan or 1,000 yuan.
