In the beautiful customs of Chinese weddings, the tea ceremony holds a special place, brimming with respect and love. When the newlyweds offer tea to their parents and elders, it’s not just a drink—it’s a heartfelt thank you for their support and acceptance.

By sipping the tea, family members warmly welcome the couple into their lives, while also sharing their blessings for a happy future. As a token of their well wishes, elders often give the couple red envelopes and precious Chinese wedding jewelry like gold bracelets. It’s a moment filled with tradition, joy, and the enduring bonds of family.
