Chinese New Year & Wedding Red Envelopes – Traditional Chinese Designs

Inspired by the changing seasons at Beijing’s Forbidden City, these Chinese red envelopes feature two distinctive designs: Spring in the Forbidden City and Everything Goes as You Wish. The first pairs blooming plum blossoms with the palace’s golden rooftops, capturing the beauty of spring and wishes for a peaceful year ahead. The second features snow-covered palace rooftops and persimmons. In Chinese, the word for persimmon (柿) sounds like the word for “things” (事), making it a symbol of shì shì rú yì (事事如意)—a wish for everything to go smoothly. Printed on coated paper with detailed artwork and gold-foil accents, both designs bring traditional Chinese art and festive color to a meaningful gift.

Red envelopes are a traditional Chinese way to give cash and share blessings with loved ones. These Chinese New Year red envelopes are perfect for gifting money to family and friends during the holiday season, and they also suit weddings, birthdays, and other special occasions. With their distinctive Forbidden City artwork and auspicious meanings, they offer a thoughtful way to share Chinese traditions with someone special.
