How to send a red envelope with a sense of ceremony?

To make red envelopes more ceremonial, we can carefully design the meaning of money, customize the cover of red envelopes, write greetings and send them at a specific time.

1, meaning of carefully designed amount: select numbers with special meaning, such as "6" for "66 14" (for life), "8" for "getting rich" and "9" for a long time, or some combination of numbers related to festivals or special occasions, such as 520 (I love you) for Valentine's Day in China.

2. Customized red envelope cover: platforms such as WeChat and Alipay usually provide customized red envelope covers of official or cooperative brands on important festivals. Choosing a special red envelope cover that meets the theme can increase the visual sense of ceremony.

3. Write a congratulatory message: according to the characteristics of the recipient and the current situation, attach a carefully written congratulatory message to the red envelope to express sincere feelings and good wishes.

4. Send it at a specific time: You can choose to send the red envelope at a specific time, such as New Year's Eve or the hour of the other party's birthday. Such a memorable time can give the red envelope more emotional value.

Precautions for red envelopes:

1, the delivery time is particular. Generally, we choose to start delivery on festive occasions such as festivals, weddings and birthdays, or give them away quietly in private. Don't be too direct when handing it. You can hand it over with greetings or appropriate opportunities, such as putting it in the other person's hand when shaking hands, or mentioning it in an appropriate conversation. Observe local customs, such as collecting lucky money from elders during the Spring Festival, not the other way around.

2. Traditional red envelopes should be sealed with new red envelopes, and the patterns should be new but not old, symbolizing the new year and new atmosphere, and sending fresh blessings. Avoid folding the money and putting it flat in the red envelope.

Don't send it at an inappropriate time, such as early morning or when others are resting. Don't show off your wealth or test others through red envelopes among friends. The amount should be appropriate. Avoid publicly pointing out the specific amount in public places or multi-person chat groups to maintain privacy.

4. When giving red envelopes to children, try to be fair and consistent, and avoid comparisons or contradictions. For red envelopes between the opposite sex, we should pay attention to the discretion and not cause misunderstanding or pressure to the other party.
