What are the rules for receiving relatives in Beijing?

When getting married, it is very important to pick up relatives. In Beijing, there are many rules and manners to meet relatives. Let me introduce them one by one.

1. Adjust the etiquette, attitude and handover process when meeting according to the customs of both parties. When men and women get married, the differences between the two regions and nationalities will definitely make the folk customs different. As a representative, you'd better ask clearly first, negotiate the process, the time and etiquette of leaving the man. You need to be prepared to pay attention when you finally send the woman to the car.

2. Don't go back: China has a saying of "Don't go back" since ancient times, because going back implies that marriage can't last long, so we should choose the way of "single-mindedness to the end".

In many places, there is a custom of "going to the single and returning to the double", that is, the number of people who pick up the bride should be odd, and the number of people who pick up the bride should be even, which means "talking a lot, both are right". Therefore, the man's wedding should be singular, including the groom, and the woman's wedding should also be singular, including the bride, so as to ensure "going to the single and returning to the double." This figure does not include photography because they belong to the staff. In addition, it is best for both sides to communicate well in advance, and the number of people receiving relatives on both sides should not be too different, otherwise the one with fewer people will be slightly impolite.

The person who picks up relatives should be unmarried. If you are a married elder, you'd better not divorce, remarry or be widowed.

5, get on and off in order: the first is the camera car. In order to facilitate shooting, it is best to arrange the camera car at the front, and the photographer, bridesmaid and goods porter will take this car. The goods porter needs to bring the main wedding dress, shoes, words to be posted by the hotel, firecrackers and so on. Go to the hotel first. Then the first car is the wedding car, and the first car is the groom, bride and best man. The best man needs to take the co-pilot to facilitate dispatch, command and communication. The bride and groom should sit in the back of the first car, one to the left and one to the right, and they can't sit backwards. Finally, there are other means of transportation. Other vehicles can take people from both sides to pick up relatives, but they can't take empty cars. Every car has to take it.

Also, Beijingers don't pay much attention to these things now, but in order to respect the woman, you can ask her family in advance how she wants to receive her relatives. There are many complicated customs in old Beijing. It's not good to elaborate one by one.
