During her nuptials, which took place over the Chinese New Year festive period, she and her husband also decided to do away with bridal photography, bridesmaids and groomsmen and wedding cars to save time and effort. A survey of 1,251 young Chinese by China Youth Daily on June 26 showed that 78.4 per cent favoured simpler weddings, and 63.4 per cent favoured cancelling customs such as gatecrashing.
The hashtag “Eight invitations over seven days” drew 34 million views, making it to popular microblogging platform Weibo’s list of hottest searches. Examples include celebrations such as sharing a short video of the happy couple before guests start eating, replacing alcohol with milk tea, and even opting for scratch-card wedding favours.
A crucial part of the red packet exchange is the expectation that guests will eventually recoup what they have given out when they hold their own weddings. Assistant Professor Mu Zheng of the National University of Singapore’s sociology and anthropology department told ST that young Chinese may feel that accepting red packets can make weddings feel transactional.
