The couple also reminded guests not to post photos online to ensure privacy. "We ask that you please refrain from posting photos on social media until we post our first photo as bride and groom. Thank you," the invitation said.

Additionally, each invitation sent to wedding guests is also marked with a seat number.

Sharing with reporters, Linh Rin said that preparations for the wedding were arranged by her and her fiancé since the end of 2022. The couple came up with the idea, chose the costumes and production partners themselves to create a cozy ceremony. Linh Rin and Phillip Nguyen also revealed that they spent nearly 2 billion VND to buy branded gifts for guests attending their wedding. About 200kg of gifts were sent to Manila - where the wedding was held - by air and sea.

Tang Thanh Ha and Louis Nguyen

With the participation of nearly 1,000 guests, actress Tang Thanh Ha's wedding party held in Ho Chi Minh City in November 2012 was considered the most magnificent and lavish wedding in Vietnamese showbiz.

On the big day, the "jade girl" of Vietnamese cinema and businessman Louis Nguyen also set strict rules for the wedding guests. In particular, guests were required to wear black and white to avoid being confused with outsiders.

The couple announced the rule requiring all guests not to use any means to take photos, including phones. Tang Thanh Ha also mobilized a dense security team, both at her private home and at the party venue.

At the wedding, the bodyguard team used umbrellas to cover the wedding tightly because they did not want the wedding photos to be leaked. It was not until the 7th wedding anniversary that the actressSuddenly want to cryjust shared a few moments from her big day.

Minh Hang

In June 2022, Minh Hang held a wedding with her businessman husband. The couple became the center of attention with their "fairy tale" wedding, held grandly in Ho Tram (Vung Tau), with the participation of 300 guests. It is estimated that the cost of Minh Hang and her husband covering all the meals and accommodation for guests was up to 750 million VND.

Minh Hang's wedding had four rules clearly written on the invitation: Come early and leave late, wear pink or nude, bring your invitation to the party, and do not bring children. In addition, the bride also reminded female guests not to wear high heels.

Explaining the four notable regulations, Minh Hang said: "The regulations in the invitation were not proposed by me alone but were approved by both families and the guests. I asked almost all the guests before making the invitation, so the regulations also came from the guests. In general, all the regulations I printed on the invitation were not to make things difficult but to create convenience for the guests."

Security was also tightened at the wedding. To maintain privacy, Minh Hang told guests not to share photos of the groom. Because of this rule, some photos of the wedding shared online by the couple’s friends cleverly covered her husband’s face.

Before the big day of her life, Minh Hang expressed her desire to hold a private wedding as a "wife protecting her husband". The 8X beauty confided: "I often tell him thank you for having the courage to love an artist. Since officially announcing the information, his name has been in the top search keywords on Google many times. I am artist Minh Hang, but my family, friends, and guests are not artists. Therefore, keeping information confidential is what I try to do for him".

Recently, nearly a year after her lavish wedding, Minh Hang suddenly announced that she was pregnant with her first child. At the age of 35, the beauty officially joined the "breastfeeding mothers" club of Vietnamese showbiz.

Dam Thu Trang

The wedding of singer Dam Thu Trang and businessman Cuong Dola (Nguyen Quoc Cuong) was the hottest event in Vietnamese showbiz in July 2019. The strict rules at the party were also a topic that attracted public attention at that time.

In the invitation, the bride and groom clearly requested that guests limit the use of technology and recording devices during the wedding ceremony. The invitation included a note: "We hope you can temporarily forget about your mobile electronic devices so that you can fully share with us the happiest moments of your big day."

Dam Thu Trang and Cuong Dola's wedding also has a rule of "no children under 5 years old allowed". In response to the controversy, Dam Thu Trang's side said that the wedding will be decorated with a lot of equipment, and the restaurant does not have enough people to closely manage the party. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the children, the wedding does not encourage children under 5 years old to attend.

Cuong Dola and Dam Thu Trang hired a large team of bodyguards to ensure the privacy of the wedding. Only those with invitations could pass through the security control area. Guests also had only one gate to enter the wedding and had a very short time to take photos, avoiding chaos and crowds in the banquet hall.
