Why does it have to be a red envelope? I've never used a red envelope. Just put the $$ or check into a regular envelope and write you name on it. Red envelope? Blah!

Please note that giving a red envelope is only for individuals who are married. At least in Chinese tradition. So if you're 21 and single I would highly recommend another form of gift.

Moron!

If you were to go to a Korean wedding, please pack a dog because they'd love to eat the gifts right then and there. Oh, I've heard they value the dog's brains the most, so don't take it out priorly.
