In Chinese culture, there is a ancient tradition of gift-giving that accompanies the engagement of a young couple. In the old days, a potential groom would send three letters: a betrothal letter, gift letter and wedding letter. The gift letter would list the gifts that the groom and his family would give to the bride-to-be. Over hundreds of years, the Grand Gift List was created. It outlines the types of engagement gifts that a groom may send to a bride prior to the wedding. Traditionally the groom and his parents present a series of engagement gifts to the bride's family as a sign of respect. The gifts are an acknowledgment of the efforts of the bride's parents in raising an honorable daughter. The acceptance of the gifts by the bride's parents is a sign of their acceptance of the wedding proposal. The tradition of gift giving has evolved to suit modern times. Now, presents are given as a token of the engagement. When giving a gift to an engaged Chinese couple, it is best to give the gift in a set of two, as it represents the power of husband and wife.
