you dont have to be married to give out red envelopes. Elders give to the youngers as their year allowance money. But youngers never give back, i think it's rude :/..But I do give Red envelope to my elders, as showing my thanks and respect

really? as far as i'm concerned... as long as i'm not married... i dont hv to give any out... and i can keep collecting XD

[viasta]

my aunts that's not married gives out red envelopes :P

[Hessah]

maybe everyone's tradition is slightly different..

like my parents always give us 2 envelopes.. one from mum and one from dad... but i've seen other families where they just give 1 envelope from both parents...

back in Taiwan we would hassle even friends who are older for red envelopes But everyone's a good sport so even giving us 10 NT we'd be content ^__^

LOL! giving red envelopes to ppl in the same generation sounds weird to me

[Ralath]

^Yeah.

But after you give them, you have to bow (ke tou).

...mmk. Well I never did. But I was supposed to... xD
