Giving gifts to others and receiving gifts from others

When should I open a gift and what kind of “ritual” behavior should I have when I open my gift?

When the Chinese accepted the gift, it was improperly opened in front of the guests. I remember when I was a child, whenever a gift came to my family, I was allowed to beat because every time I did a “foreign courtesy”, when my parents didn’t pay attention to the guests, I wanted to immediately Opening the gift, at this time, the mother must be slapped, saying that I am impolite, so the people must not open the gift in front of the guests. There is also a saying that the joy of the country is not very clever expression, afraid that when the guests open the gift, the expression The control is not good, so it is still not open to the surface.

Westerners receive a gift like to be present in front of the guests, be careful, open the gift, appreciate it, praise it from the outer packaging to the inner packing, see the gift, and praise it, and even hug you with joy when they are happy.

Wedding etiquette

Foreigners usually display gifts presented by relatives and friends in the occasion of wedding ceremony as an embellishment scene.

Most wedding gifts in China now use cash instead of gifts. The gift money is also given on the spot of the wedding banquet. Therefore, off-site or restaurant populations usually have a gift reception office. If there are gifts, they are also handed over to the gift reception office for collection. Don't bring brides and grooms to the banquet venue because the parties must be very busy and nervous on that day. They may have no time to attend to these gifts and even lose them. It is also not convenient. If the wedding ceremony is based at a church, it must not be brought into the church. The church should be handed over to the relatives outside the church. All forms of wedding besides the church can bring gifts to the wedding venue. For example, heavy-duty refrigerators, television sets and air conditioners can be sent directly to the property. Never send it to a wedding place.
