Traditional Chinese Wedding Custom (Guo Da Li) - Handmade (Small Size)

Historically, "Guo Da Li" was the most significant ceremony in betrothal, typically held 15 to 20 days before the wedding. The groom's family would select an auspicious date to present betrothal gifts and a monetary gift to the bride's family. In modern times, "Guo Da Li" is viewed as an engagement, signifying a promise from the groom's family to the bride's, accompanied by congratulatory gifts to express sincerity. The items for Guo Da Li usually include a pair of Dragon and Phoenix cakes, traditional wedding cakes, betrothal money, and gifts, all in even numbers to symbolize togetherness. Wedding cakes are an indispensable part of Guo Da Li, and the tradition of distributing wedding cakes to guests continues to this day.
