Money is very appropriate and sometimes there are specialized envelopes for them. This is a Japanese envelope, it's called Mizuhiki, which really pertains to a large variety of specially decorated envelopes. Obviously, this is for babies. So you would get an envelope like this, and then, you would never just stick the money in there, you would put newly minted money if you could find it in a fresh white envelope and then you would insert it inside this envelope. If you don't live in a Japanese area then you would just give them any color envelope. However, if you are Chinese or Vietnamese, you would never give a white envelope because white envelopes are only used for funerals. In the Korean community, this is the dress that's worn on the first birthday that's celebrated. We have to remember that in olden times there was a very high infant mortality rate. So, if a child lived to be one year old, that was a pretty good predictor that the child would survive. At the first birthday they serve a special first birthday cake. Most guests bring gold, real gold, gold bracelets, even if it's for boys or girls. If you can't afford and you're invited to bring real gold then most anything else you bring for the baby will be accepted. It's usually only the initial, close family members that can afford real gold but gold is the standard for gifts. Chinese have a special celebration again, observing that the baby has survived called the red egg and ginger party. They actually serve red eggs, again symbolizing life. The eggs are red because they've dyed red and ginger because it's healthy for the new mom. That's usually where they announce the new baby's name and again anything that you bring is really acceptable there. Probably, most of you are aware of Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah, a celebration when a jewish boy and girl are considered to enter adult hood, not legally but symbolically. Some of you may be less familiar with a coming of age ceremony called a Quinceanera, which is the fifteen year old celebration for girls. It represents the girls transition from girlhood to adulthood, especially in her consideration of her standing in church. Some of the things that will be displayed, also gifted, will be her first pair of high heels and her last doll. This is the crown that she will wear at this event and this is probably typical of the table decoration. Because she's fifteen she will have an escort but there will be seven couples that will stand with her and escort her down the aisle. It will be a mass and after the mass they go to a landmark. I live near, very close to a landmark and every Saturday after twelve you can go there and see all the quinceanera parties. Most often the girl, the quinceanera, meaning the fifteen year old, is wearing a dress of white and the girls in attendance will all be in one color like bridesmaids and the boys will all be in tuxedos. Appropriate gifts for that would be things that have to do with church and learning and also jewelry, signs that the girl is all grown up. She is literally queen for a day. Red is generally a celebratory color like I just showed you the red envelopes. Red is used for celebration all through Asia, except Korean Buddhists only write their names in red when people die or on the anniversary of their death. Therefore,we discovered that when teachers write in red in on their students papers the families and the children are very threatened because it means they're going to die.
