My cousin and his wife just had their first baby (a boy, almost 6 weeks premature but finally home and doing well). I do a lot of crochet and I want to make a blanket for the baby as a good luck/welcome home gift. But my cousin's wife is Vietnamese and I'm not very familiar with the culture so I was wondering: does anyone know which colors I could use for the blanket that would be for good luck, happiness, protection, or good fortune according to Vietnamese culture? And are there any colors I should avoid completely (might be considered bad luck)?
My cousin and his wife are both Buddhist if that's helpful at all.
Answer
Green or blue, the first is preferred.

Marriage Celebrant looking for ideas for Vietnamese Wedding Ceremony?
scrapmum
I am a wedding celebrant looking for ideas on how to make the ceremony of a Vietnamese couple more personal. They do not have any family around them, and very few friends, but I would still like their wedding to be meaningful and personal to them. I have read that the giving of earrings and/or a necklace can be done. Can this be the groom giving them to his bride or does it have to be given by someone else. The groom mentioned some traditional gifts or boxes that have special things in them, but I wasn't able to fully understand his explanation.
They have a 10 month old daughter and the bride is due to have another baby in about a months time.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Usually the groom's mother will present the bride with jewelry (earrings, necklace, etc) when they come to pick up the bride from her house. The boxes with the special items in them are usually arranged by the groom's family. Back in the day, the bride's family would make prior arrangements withe the groom's family that they'll agree to certain conditions before the bride is allow to leave the house to go to the ceremony. Most of this stuff is foods, goods, and other stuff the bride's family can share with their village once the bride is gone.
Not sure what would be meaningful to the couple as this stuff is usually done between the families.
