Chinese Weddings

Tea Ceremony & Door Games question

1. How long should I schedule for tea ceremony? Just my parents, 2 aunts, and my brother & sis in law. The boy's family is not into traditional chinese stuff!2. Also how long for door games? 15 minutes? 30? Any suggestions? I saw the seaweed kissing one and the milk in baby bottle! Any other recommendations?

    Keep in mind that whoever you're serving tea to is going to give a few words, maybe red pocket and then you're probably going to pose for some pictures. So for you, I would say 30-40mins. (give or take a few minutes if you know how talkative your family is)For door games, you can schedule however long you want and your bridesmaids should plan accordingly. I've seen groom's party getting their legs waxed as a game? =P

    1. It depends on how long each of those people will speak, so unless you know that, it will vary. I had mom, grandparents, 2 aunts, and my uncle's family ~ 20 minutes maybe. That is even after the incense burning and other ceremonial traditions. 2. We were on a tight schedule and my mom required us to start at the auspicious time. The guys arrived late and so they only had 15 minutes. The games were really quick and friendly since we didn't have much time. I posted them here with some video: [url]<a href="http://adorkable.so-uneek.com/?go=doorgame" rel='nofollow'>http://adorkable.so-uneek.com/?go=doorgame</a>[/url]
