Generally, 6-8 wedding cars are better. The number of wedding cars is prepared based on the number of people sending them off and the economic situation of the newlyweds. It is advisable to avoid odd numbered wedding cars as much as possible, and choose even numbered ones for better meaning. Therefore, most newlyweds will use 6, 8, or 12 wedding cars. If their family conditions are superior, the number can be appropriately increased.
The symbolism of the number of wedding cars
Six cars: heralding the success of the six hundred, wishing the newlyweds a smooth and prosperous journey.
Seven cars: The homophone "Qi" for "7" implies that the couple's hearts are "Qi" and their eyebrows are "Qi" when lifting a case.
Eight cars: symbolizing "wealth" and wishing the newlyweds a prosperous life.
Nine cars: The relationship between husband and wife lasts for a long time, growing old together.
Ten cars: symbolizing perfection and happiness.
Eleven cars: symbolizing love with one heart and one mind, accompanying each other until old age.
Twelve cars: homophonic with "real love", representing genuine and pure love.
