Chinese wedding tea set (wedding bowls/wedding cups/wedding red bowls and chopsticks/wedding supplies)

Material: Ceramic

1. Wedding tea preparation materials

A pair of red kneeling mats, wedding teapot and tea set (for parents and elders), paper wedding tea cups (for peers such as cousins), tea leaves or tea bags (do not use slimming tea, because slimming means losing blessings), and hot water for tea. Two cups of tea should be prepared for each elder, and two unpeeled lotus seeds or sugared lotus seeds (representing the birth of a son) and two red dates (representing good fortune) should be put into each cup of tea, which means pairs.

Arrange 3 sisters to help: 1 is responsible for preparing tea cups, 1 is responsible for passing tea cups and saying auspicious words, and 1 is responsible for helping to put on gold jewelry and record and keep gold jewelry

2. Before leaving: Offer tea to the bride's parents
The groom kneels in front of his father-in-law, and the bride kneels in front of her mother, with the man on the left and the woman on the right. The groom offers tea first, first to his father and then to his mother; then to the bride, in the same order. Remember to offer tea with both hands and address the other person by the correct title, such as "Dad, please have tea." At the same time, arrange for a sister to say auspicious words. After the elders have drunk the tea, they will give the newlyweds blessings and words, and give them red envelopes or gold jewelry. Both hands should also be used when offering tea and receiving gifts.

3. Serve tea to elders according to seniority <br>The order of serving tea should be parents first. Then grandparents, brothers and sisters of the same generation as grandparents (such as uncles, aunts, etc.), and then brothers and sisters of the same generation as parents (such as uncles, aunts, etc.). Finally, family members of the same generation but older than oneself (such as brothers, sisters, cousins, etc.). Some families will serve tea to grandparents first, and then to parents.

4. Serving tea to the groom's parents after entering the house <br>After serving tea at the bride's house, the newlyweds leave the bride's house and enter the groom's house. Remember to bring all the supplies for serving tea when leaving the house. The steps for serving tea at the groom's house are the same as those for the bride's house. If you follow all the steps, I believe everyone can "drink the bride's tea and be rich and prosperous"!

5. Notes on serving tea
1. The water temperature should not be too hot, as parents will drink the tea immediately after receiving it, so it is best to prepare the tea for serving in advance.
2. When serving tea to guests, people should pay attention to the sayings "a full cup of tea is deceptive" and "seven percent tea and eight percent wine". In other words, the cup of tea should not be too full; seven-tenths full is best.
3. After the parents have drunk the tea, the newlyweds should take the tea set with both hands and hand it back to the sisters. The parents will then say blessings and present gifts.
4. If you need to serve tea to multiple elders, you can arrange to serve some of them before the wedding dinner begins, but serving tea to both parents must be completed in the morning.
