Top 5 Guo Da Li Cakes In Singapore

Guo Da Li, or 过大礼, is a tradition that cannot be missed before a Chinese wedding as it marks the important meeting between both families which symbolises the groom's sincerity towards marrying his bride and also an act of affirmation that the bride will be well taken care of during marriage. However, for young modern couples, Guo Da Li can be unfamiliar as the items given to the bride's family are usually uncommon in everyday life and the things that the groom needs to prepare varies according to the bride's dialect group. One important item that cannot be missed during a Guo Da Li is definitely the traditional wedding cakes, which is a symbolism of the groom's gratitude to the bride's family for raising and taking care of her and also serves as an announcement of the couple's decision to marry.

The number of boxes of traditional wedding cakes typically depends on how many people the couple would like to gift it to which includes, relatives, parents' friends, and colleagues as well as the couple's friends and colleagues.
