Singapore’s premier Chinese betrothal ceremony specialists – Preserving tradition with elegant, customized Guo Da Li packages
The Guo Da Li ceremony represents one of the most meaningful traditions in Chinese wedding customs. This official Chinese betrothal ceremony involves the groom presenting carefully selected betrothal gifts to the bride’s family, symbolizing his sincerity, commitment, and ability to care for their daughter in marriage.
Despite our rapidly modernizing world, this beautiful tradition remains deeply cherished across generations in Singapore. Many elders consider the Chinese betrothal ceremony an essential step before marriage—a tangible promise from the groom to honor and cherish their daughter throughout their life together.
More than just gift-giving, Guo Da Li creates a bridge between two families who will soon be connected through marriage. The ceremony provides a meaningful opportunity for both families to demonstrate mutual respect and establish a foundation for their future relationship. Each dialect group in Chinese culture maintains distinctive customs regarding the betrothal Singapore gifts. While modern couples may adapt certain aspects of the tradition, the symbolic meaning behind each item in a Guo Da Li package remains paramount:
Dragon and Phoenix Candles
Representing the union of husband and wife
Traditional Chinese Tea
Symbolizing respect and gratitude to elders
Wedding Cake boxes (喜饼)
Signifying sweetness in the marriage
Red packets (Hong Bao)
Bringing prosperity and good fortune
Every item chosen for your Guo Da Li ceremony carries specific blessings for the couple’s future happiness, fertility, and prosperity.
For couples planning their wedding journey, timing matters. The Chinese betrothal ceremony typically takes place 2-4 weeks before your wedding day. Both families should consult together to select an auspicious date according to the Chinese lunar calendar, ensuring good fortune for the betrothal Singapore ceremony and the marriage to follow.
On the chosen day, the groom arrives at the bride’s family home accompanied by respected elders from his family who are considered to have good fortune (福气 fú qi). These representatives help present the Guo Da Li package with proper respect and attention to tradition.
The atmosphere combines formality with warm family celebration. Photos capture this important milestone, and the bride’s family typically offers traditional tea and pastries to welcome their future son-in-law and his family representatives during the Chinese betrothal ceremony.
Immediately following Guo Da Li comes the Hui Li (回礼) ceremony—the tradition of returning gifts. While historically these were separate events, modern families often combine them on the same day for convenience.
During Hui Li, the bride’s family returns a portion of the betrothal Singapore gifts (typically 20-50%, excluding wine and red packets) to demonstrate goodwill and mutual respect between the families. This symbolic exchange represents the balanced relationship the families hope to maintain.
The bride’s family also presents:
