1. How to arrange the order of kowtows at a wedding?
This is a procedure for a Chinese wedding.
I heard this from a staff member of Senna. Most people nowadays get married in the Western way.
If it is Chinese style, it is more complicated. There are many opinions.
The sedan chair begins its journey: Accompanied by gongs, drums, suona and lion dance, the sedan chair begins its journey. According to tradition, the bride should be carried out in a sedan by her brothers.
However, many modern people have only children, so they can only do it for their cousins ??or best men, who usually carry them instead of carrying them. The journey of the sedan chair is just a formality at present. Unless the two families are very close, carrying it from one end of Shanghai to the other will definitely make you fall down from exhaustion.
However, it is customary to give red envelopes to the bearers, otherwise they will intentionally shake the sedan to make the bride "feel better". Crossing the brazier and shooting arrows: In the ancient ceremony, the bride sat in a sedan chair and crossed the charcoal brazier, but now it is usually the bride who crosses directly with the support of the matchmaker.
Then before getting off the sedan, the groom has to draw his bow and shoot three red arrows toward the sedan door to drive away any evil spirits that the bride may have contracted along the way. After the brazier, some people have to step over the saddle, which indicates that the couple will have a safe family after marriage; then the groom will use a scale beam wrapped in red cloth to lift the wedding scarf on the bride's head. At this time, the couple should Officially worshiped.
The most important part after the worship is not to exchange glasses of wine (Hexinjiu), but to serve tea to both parties in the high hall. Usually at this time, a group of people burst into tears. The scene is touching and can be seen in the warm and festive atmosphere. Permeated with deep family affection. Concentric knots and matchmaking: In modern wedding ceremonies, many things that should be done in the bridal chamber are brought out and displayed.
For example, hair tying should be done by the newlyweds in the bridal chamber and kept together as a token of their relationship. Now it is performed in public. Afterwards, the mothers of both parties lit dragon and phoenix candles together, the newlyweds exchanged fragrant books and beautiful jade as tokens, and then invited a matchmaker to present hoofs.
2. How to arrange the seating order at a wedding?
1. How to decide the seating arrangement of guests, wed114 Wedding Knows that there is no absolute rule of right or wrong. But there are still some basic guidelines that newcomers need to know. The classic round table arrangement is such that the bride and groom must be at the front of the table, facing all the guests.
2. It is very important who the parents of the couple sit with, especially when you choose a more Western-style sitting method such as a square table. The square table is suitable for small and intimate weddings. The couple's relatives and friends may be gathered together. In this case, it will be very important to include friends who are familiar with each other.
3. The guests all want to sit closer to the couple, what should I do?
In fact, the simplest way is to set up two main wedding tables, so that the couple will have more friends. It is better to arrange two main wedding tables, one for the parents and elders of the couple, and the other for the parents and elders of the couple. A main wedding table can be arranged with some friends who are close to the couple, so that the guests can be well coordinated.
4. It is best for the newlyweds to arrange those who are also attending the wedding together at the same table, so that there will definitely be topical connections between them. What should be avoided is for a person to attend the wedding to be arranged with a group of familiar people, which will easily lead to a non-circular exclusion effect.
5. The seating arrangement should be divided into three groups: the bride, the groom’s parents, and the bride’s parents.
Each group will get to know their friends or relatives so that situations where they don’t know each other are avoided. Putting some unknown single young people together is also a good opportunity to make friends in a romantic wedding banquet environment.
6. How to arrange seats for guests who do not meet with each other
In fact, it is easy for everyone to think of this principle. If a person is invited to attend the wedding of the couple in a different place, it can be arranged. At the main wedding table, if they are college classmates, they can be arranged at the classmate table, and the guests can chat with each other; the newlyweds in student days can be placed at the classmate table, and the guests can chat with each other; the newlyweds in student days can communicate with each other to a certain extent. This way guests won’t seem lonely.
7. When the parents of the new couple are divorced;
In fact, when encountering this situation, it is best to seek their opinions before the wedding. If the parents have already formed a new family, , then should we consider arranging seats according to the existing family order? Not only can it be arranged properly, but it can also add a sense of happiness.
It is best to let the parents sit at different tables. The couple can take care of both parties when toasting during the wedding banquet, so as to avoid embarrassment.

4. The order of seating at the wedding banquet
The seats at the wedding banquet are indeed very important. In traditional Chinese etiquette, the seats are closely related to the person's identity and status. Therefore, when it comes to your life-long events, don’t be careless about this detail!
1. Parents, relatives, friends and colleagues of parents
Parents of both parties should have separate seats. Parents’ elders, sisters and brothers can be arranged at the same table or in the same adjacent area. Giving the elders a more distinguished seat at the table also makes it easier for their parents to take care of them. The seating order can simply be arranged by the parents themselves.
Usually the bride and groom’s parents’ table should be close to the main table and on both sides of the red carpet. It is easier for guests from the same party to communicate in the same area.
2. Colleagues, friends, and business partners of the newcomer
This group of people should be greeted first after the elders. Those who are familiar with each other should be placed at the same table as much as possible, and those who are not familiar with each other should be placed at each table. It will be more polite to arrange for a familiar friend to take care of you in time. Please arrange them in the middle of the entire banquet area.
3. Classmate friends
Most of them are the best friends of the newcomers. There is no need to greet them deliberately. They will definitely wait patiently for the newcomers to appear. You might as well arrange them at the last few tables in the banquet area so that they can Enjoy yourself and avoid drinking that will affect the entire wedding process. This part also includes the helping staff.
When arranging seats, you can ask the catering department to provide a table map, and number or name each table. This way, the seat arrangement will take care of all aspects. Combine this table map and table rows Prepare several copies of the printed guest list to make it easier for guests to sit down and at the same time show the host's meticulousness and thoughtfulness.
