Gifts

No gifts needed, as we truly appreciate you taking the time to join us on this special occasion - with some of you traveling great distances!

However if you insist…

Please take part in the Malaysian-Chinese tradition of gifting us an “Ang Pao” on the evening of our wedding reception.

When given 

  • Ang pao is given during holidays and special occasions such as Chinese New Year, weddings, graduations, and birthdays.

What it symbolises
