Everything You Need to Know: Chinese Tea Ceremony

Hey there, I'm Janet, and I totally get the craziness of wedding planning, especially when it comes to nailing that oh-so-special Chinese tea ceremony. If you're a fellow bride trying to weave tradition into your big day, I've compiled a guide to help out – "Everything You Need to Know: Chinese Tea Ceremony."

I was on the same rollercoaster, struggling to blend the needs of my traditional family with the modern realities of today. Aunties and uncles would nag and say, "You have to have one!" without any direction or guidance. So, armed with late-night scrolls through Facebook groups (shout out subtleasianweddings), endless website tabs, and TikToks, I've created this guide.

What's Inside:

• Chin-to-Toes Walkthrough: From teapot selection to which tea ingredients to choose from, this guide holds your hand through every baby step, making sure you don't miss a beat.
• Feels and Significance: Dive into the meaning behind the gestures, etiquette and customs in the ceremony, and make it uniquely yours.
• Bonus Tips! : Take inspiration from r/weddingplanning, I'll let you know hacks for those "uh-oh" moments.
• Tradition meets Today: Discover how to sprinkle a dash of you into tradition – think something borrowed, something new, something brewed (!).

This guide will make your family beaming with pride for once.

Update: I've included a FREE 2024 Auspicious Wedding Date Calendar. Chinese tradition suggests that choosing an auspicious date will ensure the marriage is happy and long-lasting. For true compatibility, you need to take into consideration the couple's Bazi (birthday and time of birth)
