If you’re preparing for your wedding at this moment, you must also be getting ready for the traditional Chinese wedding activities that come with it–the Betrothal Ceremony, the Tea Ceremony, and so on. If you’ve already seen the checklist of items for the Betrothal Ceremony, you’ll notice that you need 50kg of traditional wedding cakes. But with brides and grooms shifting to more practical options today, it’s very common for couples to opt for cake and pastry vouchers instead of actual Chinese traditional wedding cakes.
Why the switch? Using cake or pastry vouchers allows relatives to claim the cakes and pastries at their most convenient time and more often than not, choose from several options–bakeries usually provide coupons with a cash value applicable to an array of products.
The tradition of giving of wedding cake vouchers has further evolved throughout the years to include other kinds of gift vouchers and coupons, such as those for sweet delicacies like chocolate, ice cream, and now even coffee and non-food items! These versatile gift voucher options make it very easy and convenient for today’s couples to express filial respect and love. On top of that, they can pick gift items that they know their recipients will enjoy.
This brings us to the topic of today’s blog post. We decided to help you look for the perfect wedding cake and pastry voucher! Here’s a list of 15 wedding gift voucher shops worth checking out. Learn about them now.
