After hearing how my two best friends spent several hours to count their red packets after their wedding, we came up with a way to speed up the counting process.
Step 1: Take out the money from the red packet, write the amount on the red packet itself and sort the notes according to its denomination. Put aside the red packets once you have written the amount on it.
Step 2: One partner will read out the figure on the red packet while the other will type it into a spreadsheet.
Step 3: Add up the figures written on the red packet using a spreadsheet. Using the summation function of the spreadsheet, you can add up the total sum very easily.
Step 4 (optional): Double check the figure by counting the notes.
