Is the wedding banquet usually arranged at the woman's house or the man's house?

Both men and women hold a wedding reception together, with the elders and important guests of the man sitting at the main table and the elders and important guests of the woman sitting at another main table.

Introduction of traditional wedding reception customs in China.

Wedding etiquette is complex and exquisite, from sitting to serving, from the composition of dishes to dining etiquette, even including the layout of seats and tables, the placement of dishes and so on. There is a set of rules everywhere. Nowadays, most wedding banquets are held in hotels. When the wedding float drives to the front of the hotel, the best man should open the door for the groom first, and then the groom will open the door for the bride. When the bride and groom arrived at the banquet hall, their parents stood in a row to greet the guests and thank them for coming.

At the beginning of the wedding reception, the MC should personally arrange for the bride's "big guest" and maid of honor to be taken to their seats to show respect. The arrangement of wedding seats varies from place to place. According to Yantai custom, the bride's big guest is at the first table, and the host and big guest should face the stage in order to watch the wedding ceremony. But if the big guests are from different generations, they should be arranged separately. The so-called "two generations have different seats." When arranging tables on the welcome table, it is generally called ........................................................................................................................................................, the first table of the dragon table and the phoenix table. Having the same language at the banquet can enhance the atmosphere of the wedding banquet.

After the wedding, the banquet began. At this time, the bride should not rush to change her dress. After the hot dishes are served, she will move a chopstick to show that the guests can open the table. When the wine is over 30 and the food is over five flavors, the bride and groom should go to each table in turn to propose a toast to each guest. When toasting, hold the glass for the guest with both hands, but don't force the guest to drink it all at once. After the guests put down their glasses, the bride and groom should say "thank you", fill the glasses for the guests, and then propose a toast to the next guest. It should be noted that the closest peers of the bride and groom should be arranged at the last two tables. In order to facilitate the newcomers to "show their faces" when toasting, so as not to affect the progress of toasting and keep the guests behind waiting.

After the wedding reception, both the bride and groom should stand at the door, shake hands with the guests and say something like "Thank you for coming" and "Please walk slowly". When all the guests have left, the couple and their parents will go to the new house to say a few words on behalf of the bride's parents. Remember to go home in the sun.

Introduction of Traditional Wedding Etiquette in China

Preparations before the wedding

Bride's gift money: Before getting married, the man should send the bride price to the woman's home, and there are different kinds of gifts from different places: live chickens, coconuts, wedding cakes and gift money from Guangdong Customs. Chicken symbolizes vitality, and coconut means that young people and old people can enjoy family happiness. Wedding cake is used to let the woman send her relatives. Gift money symbolizes that the bride can get more money when she gets married, which means that the bride can enjoy happiness and reassure her family.

Reward: The woman who receives the bride price will return the bride price. In some places, the woman's family will send an engagement ring, and in some places, betel nuts will be sent, which means "Ichiro is in the end".

Fixed bed: The night before the wedding, a man with a harmonious family, parents and a son should be installed in the wedding room, and then four products of walnuts, lotus seeds, red dates and peanuts symbolizing the early birth of your son should be placed on the new bed.

Dowry: The bride's family will prepare a dowry for the bride to take to her husband's family, and all the dowry will be put in a red box and given to the bride.

Above: The night before the wedding, you should choose an auspicious time to worship God, so as to achieve peace and happiness, and the man should also worship God at his own home.

Comb your hair: When the bride is dressing up, she will invite a blessed elder to comb her hair, similar to the principle of going to bed.

Eat glutinous rice balls: glutinous rice balls mean a happy reunion and wish the couple a successful marriage.

The ceremony on the wedding day

Wedding reception: On the morning of the wedding, the man will come to the woman's house with the wedding reception team. Picking up the bride is definitely the climax of the whole wedding. First of all, we must "get started". It's not that easy for the groom to take the bride back from the door. He has to pass the test of sisterhood, not only intellectually, but also physically. If required, he has to sing love songs and say love words, but these are not the most important things. Giving red envelopes is likely to impress the bride's sisters. This is the so-called opening red envelope. Moreover, the groom will also use the flower ball to marry the bride (the bride should not make the flower ball herself).

Look for red shoes: the groom can't take the bride away immediately after entering the door. He should also find the red wedding shoes prepared for the bride in the bride's room and help her put them on before taking her away.

Tea worship: newlyweds should bow to their parents and serve tea until their elders finish drinking it. In the past, it was customary for newlyweds to serve tea at the woman's house, because they had not visited Weng Gu at the man's house. But now there is not so much pressure, and both sides bow to show the same respect.

Scatter rice with a red umbrella: When the bride and groom go out, they should be accompanied by bridesmaids holding red umbrellas, and at the same time, they should scatter rice on the roadside, which means that chickens should not peck at the bride.

Bypass auspicious road: the couple can't reach their destination directly after boarding the wedding car, so they must drive around all the auspicious roads in the local area.

Passing the door: refers to the custom of the bride to see the man after being received by his elders such as Weng Gu.

Wedding: a ceremony will be held in a hotel with lace, a western-style wedding will be held, and the master of ceremonies will be invited to preside over the wedding.

Dear guests: After the wedding, the banquet will officially begin. When the fish is served, the bride will put on the traditional dragon and phoenix robes and offer tea to each table with the groom. The guests will say some words of blessing.

Into the bridal chamber: The bride and groom will take their close friends to visit the bridal chamber or do some entertainment activities to make the bridal chamber lively. Bian Xiao reminded everyone not to go too far in making trouble in the bridal chamber. If the happy event is unpleasant, that's not good.

Three Dynasties Back to Mother's Home: On the third day after marriage, the bride was accompanied by her husband back to her mother's home, bringing the whole pig and gifts to pay homage to her ancestors.
