You can buy one or two wedding boxes, and the specific quantity can be determined according to personal preferences and local customs. If there is no requirement for the number of wedding boxes in the local area, one can choose to buy one or two according to personal preference. According to traditional wedding customs, it is best for all items on the day of the wedding to be even numbers, symbolizing that the couple will be paired up and grow old together.
Why do we need two wedding boxes
In traditional customs, even number wedding supplies symbolize good things coming in pairs, and the use of two boxes is also different.
One of the wedding boxes is used to hold important items (such as gold jewelry) and the bride's clothing, and it needs to be kept by a dedicated person because the newlyweds are very busy on the wedding day. If there is no dedicated person to keep this dowry box, there will be a mistake and it will be a huge loss.
Another wedding box contains some personal money given to the bride by the bride's parents. This money is used to show the groom that their daughter is a precious treasure in the family, and they will also treat her as a treasure when she marries into the groom's family, for emergency use by the daughter. It also indicates that the bride is not helpless in her family, mostly in savings or bank cards, as well as cash.
