It is a colorful pattern with two mandarin ducks (\u9d1b\u9d26). These mandarin ducks are playing together as a couple. In fact, the idea of having a pair mandarin ducks is something very meaningful for a design of invitation in Chinese-style. It is believed that they are always in a pair in Chinese culture. So, you should be able to guess the reason of having them on an invite design here. The main concept behind is that the madarin ducks signify that the couple will always be together for the rest of their lives.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Mandarin Ducks Forever - Cover\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01a.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Cover design &#8211; Happy Mandarin Ducks Forever<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Double Happiness and Lotus<\/h3>\n<p>Although the treatment of this design is not very traditional, we will still say that it is very Chinese. We have also put a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/chinese\/doublehappiness.php\">double happiness symbol<\/a> in this design besides the mandarin ducks. Without any surprise, it is not uncommon to see this symbol in our Chinese invitation designs. Lotus can also be seen on the cover of the card. In Chinese culture, lotus means fertility. This is also a symbol to bless the bride and groom. With all these patterns and symbols, this invitation card expresses the best wishes to the newly-married couple to stay in love forever.<\/p>\n<h3>Colors and Treatments<\/h3>\n<p>We have kept the more traditional colors of red and gold in this design. The paper stock for the cover is gold in color while the stock for the insert is red in color. The paper cutting pattern, double happiness and lotus on the cover are printed with full-color printing. As per the insert, gold color foil printing is used. This is mainly for the contrast between the wording and the red color of the insert. This type of color combination is very traditional in terms of wedding invitations. They are the colors of celebration.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Mandarin Ducks Forever - Insert\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.983invitation.com\/showroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/01_046016_01b.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Insert of the card<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Invitation Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Product No.:<\/strong> 01_046016_01<br \/>\n<strong>Sizes of the wedding card and envelope:<\/strong><br \/>\nInvitation: 125mm(W) x 175mm(H) folded<br \/>\nEnvelope: 135mm (W) x 185mm (H)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper Stock<\/strong><br \/>\nCover: 250gsm gold color paper<br \/>\nInsert: translucent tracing paper or freelife M.
