Gifts for the Bride
(Original Title: 出嫁的禮物)
In Shanghai, it is customary for close friends and family to present heartfelt gifts to brides when they marry. Consider preparing a special publication to celebrate the wedding, comprising treasured mementos like photos of the bride and groom, a chronicle of their love story, and heartfelt messages of congratulations from loved ones. Such gifts should be thoughtfully curated and ready by the end of the month, adding a unique touch to the celebration.
