Hey, I have been invited to a wedding. The girl that is getting married is a daughter of my co-worker. What do I get for a wedding gift? I have met her daughter once and I don't really know her taste. I asked her mother and she just keeps saying, " Get her anything you like". Please help me with this one!!! Thank you!

For Chinese wedding, our good old red packet filled with money is the standard gift of respect. Some more modern couples also accept expensive gifts, or, ornaments, or even gift vouchers from a particular shopping place. Usually these are given by close friends of the couple but in most instances, they will still present the red packet as token of their well wishes.
