Xiaoxi said that because she and her friends did not know much about local gift customs, but did not want to “eat for free”, they asked the bride relevant questions. The other party said that there is no need to give any gift money, “I don’t accept any gift money or anything. Even if the table is reserved, it will be empty.”
Xiaoxi and her friends felt that this was not good, so that day, they each took a 100-yuan red envelope and went to the wedding as agreed. Xiaoxi said that the two of them had a great time eating. In addition, they also found gift boxes containing wedding sweets, a bottle of honey, a box of candied dates and a pack of cigarettes.
At first, Xiaoxi thought she was giving red envelopes to guests when they entered the venue, but she never found the registration point.

They believe that customs differ from place to place and they do not know much about local gifts, so they are not bothered by these questions.
