A kindergarten teacher in Xiamen handed out wedding invitations to her students in an apparent bid to solicit wedding gifts from their parents, the Xiamen Evening News reported.

According to a post by an unnamed internet user, the kids received wedding invitations from their teacher with their name on them. The teacher also gave the kid a package of candies and asked them to tell their parents about the upcoming ceremony.

Mr. Huang, the director of the Educational Affairs Service Center in Huli District, where the kindergarten is located, said the teacher is not allowed to issue such invitations unless she has a personal relationship with the children's parents.

The education department will look into the matter and ask the teacher to return any gifts given by students' parents, he said.

据《厦门晚报》报道，幼儿园老师结婚，居然给全班的小孩子发了婚礼请柬以期家长能够来参加并送礼。

近日，一位网友在网上发帖说，她收到一张喜帖，是小孩所在幼儿园发来的，喜帖上写的是小孩的名字，老师还发给小朋友一包糖果，并交代孩子要转告父母。

记者就此采访了湖里区教育事务服务中心黄主任。黄主任说，除非老师和家长之间是出于私交，否则不得向家长发喜帖。

教育部门将会关注此事，并要求老师将礼金退回。
