600 yuan is an even number, and in our country, even-numbered red envelopes are more auspicious. Moreover, the number 6 represents "smooth and prosperous" in our country, and the number 0 is round, so it also represents "reunion". Therefore, the groom's parents giving a 600 yuan red envelope as a gift is hoping that the two of you will have everything smooth and lasting forever. This is a very meaningful red envelope amount.
The amount of red envelope given by different families varies greatly. Some give hundreds, some give thousands, even some give tens of thousands. However, this is related to the family's economic situation. So whether 600 yuan is a small red envelope depends on the other party's family's economic situation. If the other party's family has a poor economic situation, giving a 600 yuan red envelope is quite generous, and the number is also auspicious, which shows that they value you very much. If the other party's family has a good economic condition and spends money generously, then giving a 600 yuan red envelope as a gift is a bit small.
Should the groom give a red envelope on the Dragon Boat Festival of the first year after the engagement?
Whether or not to give a red envelope on the Dragon Boat Festival of the first year after the engagement depends on local customs. Because China is vast, there are still quite big differences. In some areas, after the engagement, the newlyweds have the custom of going to the other party's home for the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, the newlyweds often prepare some gifts, and some people also give red envelopes, which depends on the local customs, and it is not necessarily required to give a red envelope.
For families with average financial conditions, the red envelope amount is usually between 1000-5000 yuan, such as 999 yuan, 1001 yuan, 2188 yuan, etc., which are auspicious numbers.

In some areas, the groom should give red envelopes to the bride's relatives. In some regions, the custom requires the groom's parents, in addition to giving the bride a red envelope for the engagement, also to give red envelopes to the bride's parents and relatives who attend the engagement ceremony. However, the amount of red envelope given to each person is not the same. Usually, the largest red envelope is given to the bride. If you want to give red envelopes to other relatives of the bride, you can determine the size of the red envelope according to the number of people. If there are few people, each person can be given around 1000 to 2000 yuan. If there are many people, the red envelopes can be 600 yuan, 800 yuan, or 1000 yuan, etc.
