Lesson Learnt

Girls, if you have a chinky wedding, dont send your invites out in white envelopes. Any other colour is cool, but white is no go.

I was stuck as our invites were a unique size and I could only source white or bright mustard yellow envelopes.

Thank god mum has good humor and is searching for stickers/stamps in red to colour up the invite. If the worse comes, she'll stick them in red organza bags or wrap the invite in red wrapping paper..

Added: Apparently White envelopes and black text is what chinese use to give Death Money. When a person dies, the family is given "Bak Gum", another pocket of money that the family can use to pay for the funeral expenses.
