Question

I figured out that the bottom-right means happiness, but I can't figure out the other three. Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you in advance!

Answer
Dear Gordo,

Yes, you are right, the bottom right character means Happiness/good fortune/blessing; the upper right one means happy event(usually wedding because this character is composed of 2 "happy"; the upper left character means life/long life and the bottom left one means good fortune/official salary(government payment which is equal to permanent payment work in Chinese history)

Hope it's clear enough.

Best,
Shannon
