Question

Is it normal for bridesmaid not to receive any part of "goodluck" money given to one of the other bridesmaid who opened the door for the groom? There were 8 bridesmaids.

Answer 1

I have never heard of good luck money. Is this a Chinese custom?



If money was given to the bridesmaid who opened the door (good luck money) then it would have been meant for all bridesmaids to share.

Answer 2

The goodluck money is generally quite generously distributed by the newly weds to friends, relatives and helpers of the wedding.



As far as I know, the goodluck money given to bridesmaids who opened the door are evenly shared among all. It's sorta natural thing to do, even if the groom didn't prepare separate shares for everyone.



That said, if you didn't stake your claim to your share of the goodluck money at the moment, the "luck" is passe and I'm not sure it's a good idea to go asking for it now.

Answer 3

Your the unloved bridesmaid because your friend is getting hitched and your worried about what you didn't get. You You You!That's why.

Answer 4

What the hell is "goodluck" money? What culture are you from?

Answer 5

if it's not given to the bride herself, i think it should be shared equally, but that's something that should have been discussed beforehand.

Answer 6

Never heard of anything like this and neither have most people.

Answer 7

I have never heard of such nonsense -- the only money you are entitled to is money you EARN.

Answer 8

do you like movies about gladiators?
