Invitations for a Chinese tea ceremony can be small red cards, a printed order of service, or a note added to your wedding website. Keep them warm and clear about who is invited and when.

Invitations for a Chinese tea ceremony can be small red cards, a printed order of service, or a note added to your wedding website. Keep them warm and clear about who is invited and when.

A small red card is a classic choice. Red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture and it matches the mood of the day. You can write the couple's names, the date, the time and the room or table where the ceremony will happen. Add a short line inviting elders to receive tea.

If the ceremony is part of a larger reception, a printed order of service works well. List the tea ceremony alongside other moments like speeches and the first dance. This helps guests know when to gather and when to sit.

For a digital option, add a line to your wedding website with the time and place. You can also include a short note explaining that elders will be served tea. This is kind to guests who may not know the custom.

Tip: Ask your parents which wording they prefer, since family names and titles may follow local or regional tradition.
