Lucky Red Money Envelopes 10 pack
DOUBLE HAPPINESS
Lucky Chinese Envelopes
This pack of 10 Lucky Envelopes bears the "Double Happiness" symbol on the front. The Dragon at the top and the Phoenix at the bottom that symbolise a partnership or marriage. It can be used for all general money luck purposes, however it is especially used for young married couples or young children. Money for the bride and groom can be given in this envelope or it can also be used to place a small gift or jewellery for bridesmaids from the bride and groom. Lucky Chinese envelopes are used for very special events the most popular of which is to give money during Chinese New Year. They can also be used at any time to give money to special people. Some business people even pay their bills with a lucky envelope.
Suitable to use on Birthdays, Weddings, Enagements and other significant events where the gift of money may be involved.
For good luck you should place 5 of the same type of currency for example if you want to put $10 notes in you should put 5. Traditionally I would place 5 coins preferably gold in the envelope and hand deliver to the recipient depending on what you are trying to achieve.
Chinese New Year (celebrated up to 4 weeks after new years day)
For luck if you frequent a restaurant to celebrate Chinese New Year some restaurants have a lion (often confused to be a dragon) that will dance in front of the premises and then around the tables and visit the patrons during their meal. The restaurant owner will hang a lettuce above the front door where the lion will climb up to eat it. The belief is that the lettuce is symbolic of money and when you feed the lion with the lettuce he will look favorably upon you and your business and you will prosper during the year.
When the lion frequents the tables the patrons can feed the lion with money placed inside the Lucky Red Envelopes. The lion will put his head down and open his mouth to let you put the envelope in. Once the lion has been fed from each of the patrons on your table he will move onto another table until all the tables have been seen. After all the money has been eaten then lion then returns to each table and more envelopes are then passed out to the patrons. It is considered lucky if you place 5 coins into the envelope that you feed the lion with one for each of the elements.
