"Salam Pengantin"

My money envelopes for this Eid unfortunately greet, “Salam Pengantin” or rather, “Congratulations on your wedding” in English (translation may not be accurate though but somewhat close).

I bought 120 of these envelopes (6 packets of 20 each) about a month ago without knowing that the greetings printed on the envelopes are for weddings. I must have been too excited when getting them all that day such that I had forgotten to check the greetings before I buy.

Supposedly a lesson learnt from Eid last year, I decided I should buy a whole lot of the Eid money envelopes in one go this time, with hopes that I would not run out of them again later during the celebration. Besides, I have always preferred to get the same cover design for all my receivers.

But without knowing that some of the envelopes in the rack outside the shop are for weddings, I asked Kenji to pick his favorite design and right away afterwards, I went to the cashier to pay for them all. Haha. Serve me right for not checking the greetings beforehand.

Anyhow, the envelopes weren't expensive at all. Even then, I plan to get all 120 of them used. So I thought I should just distribute the Eid money in these envelopes and not care about getting them replaced! So “Salam Pengantin” to all my kid and elderly receivers.
