When I was much, much younger I watched a Hong Kong serial where the heroine made a jar full of origami stars to give to the hero. She said that the stars were lucky stars and the act of giving it to her love was a form of blessing. Nowadays, it is also to show commitment and dedication.
The usual practice is to fill the jar to the brim with the stars. However, there are some who are particular about the number of stars they give. Here is a reference as to the number for those who are interested.
NUMBER OF STARS AND THEIR MEANINGS
1 pc: The only one
2 pcs: Happy Couple
9 pcs: Love for a long time
