The wedding box is packed the night before the bride's wedding. The bride's family needs to tidy up the things in the box one to two days before her daughter's wedding, and then pack them all into the box the night before the wedding. But the bride's personal box can be packed on the morning of the wedding day, often containing jewelry, belongings, close fitting clothing, etc.
The etiquette of packing wedding boxes
1. Box color
Marriage is a joyous occasion, and red or pink boxes are suitable for creating a festive atmosphere. It is advisable to avoid choosing cool colors such as black or gray. It is also best for the items inside the box to be predominantly red.
2. Packing items
Wedding packing items are usually given as gifts by the bride's parents, relatives, and friends. In the old days, they gave candy and fried peanuts. Now, they usually give bedding, offspring buckets, red basins, SHOES, socks, jewelry and other gifts that symbolize beauty. If you don't know what to give, you can also give gifts directly.
3. Packing personnel
The people who pack the wedding box are usually relatives of the bride, usually parents or elders such as uncles, aunts, etc. They can also find siblings of the same age. If there are not many relatives, they can also ask their best friends to help.
4. Packing method
When packing, the bride's brother needs to bring the dowry to the front of the box, and then the bride's parents or other female relatives can add the items to the box. Try to fill the box as much as possible, symbolizing 'completeness'. If there are not many items, you can put some large dowry items such as clothing and bedding, and it is best not to bring empty boxes when getting married.
