According to different customs, the wedding box can be opened by the bride's brother, the groom's mother, or the bride herself. If the bride's younger brother is required to open the box, but the bride is an only child, she can find a cousin to open the box or open it herself.
1、 When will the wedding box be opened
The wedding box was opened on the day of the wedding. On the wedding day, after the bride arrives at the groom's house by car, someone will open the box in public, and guests will see the dowry brought by the bride.
In some places, there is a saying that the mother-in-law's family needs to give double the amount of money for the box, which means that the groom's parents need to give the bride double the amount of money for the box based on the money brought by the bride. Generally, the more money and jewelry in a box, the more arranged it is, but it is also easy to form a trend of comparison. Arrange according to your own economic situation, there is no need to compare.
2、 Do we have to open the box for marriage
Opening the wedding box is just a custom in some parts of China, and not every place requires opening the box for marriage. If there is a custom of opening wedding boxes in the local area, but the newlyweds themselves do not want to keep this process, then it can also be omitted.
Marriage doesn't necessarily have to be unboxed. Nowadays, many couples feel that many customs are awkward when getting married, and they can simplify them according to their own needs.
