If you’re a frequent attendee of traditional Malay wedding ceremonies, then you are accustomed to receiving souvenirs from the newlyweds as a token of gratitude for attending their big day. Back then, people would opt to hand out bunga telur to their guests who took time to attend their wedding.
However, in recent times, many unconventional items are now being used as gifts to those attending wedding ceremonies. This include edible items such as a bottle of soy sauce, a whole pack of Maggi, and even, a whole loaf of Gardenia bread!
Yesterday (Sunday, 13th March), a female social media user uploaded a photo of the Gardenia bread door gifts which were neatly arranged on the table on the group “Masak Apa Tak Jadi Hari Ini”. “Among the door gifts that you receive at wedding ceremonies these days,” Facebook user Azarimah Ismail wrote on her post. Her posting on the group has since gone viral online. At the time of writing (Monday, 14th March), it has been shared over 1.2k times on FB.
The posting has in turn received tons of remarks from netizens. Many argued that they are not surprised by Azarimah’s revelation. One commentator shared, “I received it a few months ago while attending the wedding of my child’s friend.” Another chimed in by saying, “This is a good thing that should be exemplified. We can use the bread to make sandwiches for dinner.”
Some even revealed that they had received other items such as chili sauce and wheat flour from the newlyweds’ family! Check out some of the comments we found online below:
