I got this answer from Vince, as usual, and some other that it is just a matter of face.. In some parts of China you will have to give a red envelope but in other parts you don't need to give anything. It is also a thing about you, your lady and her family.. I have asked my lady before about this and she told me that I shouldn't give a red envelope. Since we are getting married in 2 months I asked her again in my last letter.. I will have to wait for this answer from her..

Good question, Gary!

It is very hard to say, there is no real tradition “rule” on that! It really depends on the bride’s family, but the amount should be less to NIL.

Just remember Peter you have to get a large red suitcase not envelope from Martin at the wedding to pay for the Dumplings ...:D

Gary , no Red Envelops for me . Qing's second marriage and it never came up . But as I stated before , I did give the Parent's $ 500 with a regular Gift on my second trip . On my third trip , Qings Mom gave us both 3500 yuan for the trip to Beijing . See ... everybody's happy and nobody lost Face . Also , nobody ask for any money from us and we did not get any at the wedding either .
