對於初次參加豐年祭的朋友，大多會建議您佩帶情人袋參與大會舞同歡樂。但為什麼叫情人袋？其實各界有很多說法，大多的說法是，阿美族是母系社會，由母親決定家中適婚成員的婚事〈尤其是未婚女性〉，當可論婚嫁時，女方的母親友會在他們所中意的年青人情人袋裏放入檳榔作為訂情的暗示，作為聯姻的依據。現今披戴情人袋內涵延伸至預表雙方的默契，像是部落族人對於披戴情人袋的非族人或漢人朋友較能表示歡迎之意，通常認為批戴者代表能尊重部落文化；而披戴者本身需嘗試放下自我的文化價值觀及偏見，願意成為文化的學習者及體驗者，同等的參與豐年祭或相關部落活動。2019年花蓮縣聯合豐年節主題曾用"披上情人袋"表示「阿美族的情人袋是讓美麗的配飾，為要彰顯媽媽編織的能力，我們要配戴，並裝滿我們的愛，讓人人知道阿美族是充滿友愛的民族。」

For first-time participants in the Harvest Festival, it is often recommended to wear a "情人袋" (amis language call 'alofo, literally translated as "lover's bag") to join in the festive celebration. But why is it called a  lover's bag? In fact, there are various explanations in different circles, but the most common one is related to the Amis tribe's matrilineal society.

In Amis culture, marriages, especially for unmarried females, are determined by their mothers. When considering a potential marriage, the mother of the female will place a betel nut inside the lover's bag of the young man they favor, which serves as a subtle indication of the intention to enter into a union. In modern times, the meaning of wearing the lover's bag has been extended to symbolize mutual understanding between both parties. For example, when tribal members invite non-indigenous or Han Chinese friends to wear the lover's bag," it signifies a welcoming gesture and respect for the tribal culture. The wearer of the lover's bag should be willing to set aside their own cultural values and biases and become a learner and participant in the tribal culture, actively engaging in the Harvest Festival or other tribal activities.

In 2019, during the Hualien County Joint Harvest Festival, the theme "披上情人袋" was used to signify that "Amis lover's bag is a beautiful accessory that showcases the weaving skills of our mothers. By wearing it and filling it with love, we let everyone know that the Amis tribe is a loving and caring nation."

Wearing the  lover's bag symbolizes respect for the Amis culture and represents the willingness to embrace and learn from the culture, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie during the Harvest Festival celebration.
