过大礼 is when the groom side prepared some stuff for the bride side, and also prepare an amount of money for the bride side known as the 聘金.
then the bride side will 回礼 by returning a few of the items that the groom side had prepared, returning a portion of the 聘金, and prepared some other items for the groom side.
based on actual tradition, there is actually ALOT of items that need to be prepared by both sides. thank goodness my parents are quite 青菜 with the 过大礼, so darling's parents also 青菜 together with us. and so the final outcome is that our 过大礼 is pretty streamlined, but most importantly both sides are happy. :)
after that we went to deliver the invitation cards to our relatives separately.
the cakes that i got are sooooooo good! i got them from my 大妹's contact. if any of you want to try them, you can get the contact from me.
