The Hungry Ghost Festival
Yesterday was the “Hungry Ghost Festival” (14 July) in the Chinese Calendar. Traditionally no one will get married in July (in the Chinese Calendar) because the gate between the hell and our world will open in this month. Getting married in this month will only render bad luck or unhappy marriage.
All about taboos
Some brides-to-be even tell me that they will not do anything related to their wedding this month. They will not even order any wedding item this month.
Although it is a bit superstitious to follow all these traditions, I think it is interesting that there are so many taboos related to wedding. And if time allows, it does no harm to follow these traditions. You may also follow them to make sure that nothing will be going wrong.

An interesting doll from Japan
A friend of mine sent me a website address from Taiwan. It is about a pair of dolls by a Japanese toy manufacturer. The dolls are designed like a couple with their wedding dresses on.
At the first glance, I thought they were Russian dolls. It really looks like the dolls I saw when I was traveling in Russia. No matter they are Russian dolls or not, they are quite cute and looks very lovely.
You can consider buying this as a wedding gift
If you friend is going to marry and they did not give you any gift registry, you can think getting dolls like them as the wedding gift.
I have also done a brief search in Ebay, you can find more information about these dolls from http://search.ebay.com/unazukin

A wedding card with the portrait of the couple
Today I found an interesting wedding card on the web. It is a wedding card with the couple’s portrait on it. The portrait is in the style of a cartoon drawing.
In fact it is quite common to use a cartoon drawing to make a wedding card nowadays. What is interesting about this card is that it is very Chinese.
A “mix and match” approach of design
As a designer myself, I find this kind of “mix and match” design quite interesting. It is very Chinese because the main color theme is red. And on the other hand it is very modern, with the cartoon drawing on it.
When you are designing your wedding invitation, you can also take this approach to make a collage of different styles and elements.

Make your wedding enviromental friendly
We would like to make everything green nowadays. There are also a lot of tips for organizing a green wedding. I personally also suggest couples to organize a green wedding. At the end of the date it is our Earth (and also we) suffer if we do not try our very best to protect our environment.
Tips for your own green wedding
I, as well as all the other experts in the field of environmental protection, will suggest you to do the following in order to make your wedding green:
- Use recycled gold wedding bands.
- Minimize the transportation involved in your wedding.
- Use recycled paper for your wedding invitation.
- Rent or borrow wedding gown (You may consider buying a vintage gown, which is both green and stylish).
- Use digital camera to take your wedding photos.
- Serve guests with organic food.
- Serve dishes to the guests with reusable and washable plates.
- Donate the leftover food of the reception.
- Rent the pillars of the wedding cake.
In fact, there are much more you can think of. Let’s act today and save our environment. You wedding becomes more meaningful if it is a green one.
