Lunar New Year Celebration

Red and gold are traditional colors symbolizing luck and prosperity, and many guests wear them. That said, festive attire in any color is perfect—think evening wear, structured pieces, or anything that feels celebratory. Check the invitation's dress code for any specific guidance from your host.

No—a thoughtful RSVP one way or the other is always appreciated. If you can't attend, a brief note expressing warm wishes for the new year is a kind gesture. Many hosts use RevelPost's RSVP features to track dietary needs and preferences, so responding with accurate information helps them plan the feast.

Red envelopes (hongbao) are a traditional gift symbolizing good luck, prosperity, and blessing. They're typically given by elders or hosts to younger guests, but the practice varies by family and region. If the invitation mentions them, it's optional—never feel obligated to give or expect one.
