Me: Why?

Friend: So you can give us red pockets. 🧧Married people are supposed to give them out.

Can confirm, have received these at Chinese(ish) weddings.
The time I was Best Man at such a wedding, I probably broke even - which is saying something as I spent a fair bit on that wedding (good friends).

[Chinese(ish) because not all the couples were actually Chinese. The Best Man one was Malaysian; another wedding was Singaporean]
