幸會 to meet you too, LY. The people who come here are mostly interested in traditional characters.

You hear it about as often as you hear phrases like 勞駕. In other words, almost never.

Yeah I feel like I might have heard it but definitely not often. Maybe people just aren’t happy to see me 😟

You’re just not moving in the right circles. You need to go to more formal banquets attended by Deep Blue Brahmins.

In the circles I move in saying 幸会幸会 is likely to get you a smackdown.

Honestly we don’t say 幸會 or 勞駕  
I think 幸會 is too much old word ? (yup I just only 26 years old …)  
We always said 很高興認識你 (Just like nice to meet you)

It’s good for getting a laugh out of your Taiwanese friends, though. 😀
