A wedding banquet is a joyous occasion where and when the bride and groom celebrate their marital union which as we may rightfully believe *follows* their sexual union.

As such, they decided to invite anything which moves, be it an old JC friend, an army friend, or the bride's colleague who just joined the company she works at, last week.

But never mind. It is a joyous event, and you just go and jiak ahhhh! If there is beer, DRINK to your heart's content!

The ang pow is symbolic. It is in red paper which symbolises luck. Good luck, I mean. Not bad luck. The groom needs it because without good luck, he will become another Women's Charter statistic.

It does not really matter how much you put inside. Even $2 is fine because it is not the amount of money but the colour of the ang pow paper which matters. If you give too much, then you are not invited; rather, you BOUGHT a seat to eat.

However, if you are giving white gold (pek kim), then the amount you donate is according to your means. The whole idea is to help the bereaved family, a practice which has its origin at a time when we were very poor.

In the case of marriages, there is not need to give ang pow like you are giving pek kim.

Actually the ultimate consideration for ang bao and pek kim should be the same. ie. To help.
Imho there's no basis to assume wedding couples are all rich and bereaved families are all poor.

I will minimally try to help the wedding couple break even on their wedding dinner. eg. If a table banquet for 10 at that hotel typically charges around $1.5k, then my ang bao will be minimally $150 for 1 pax or $300 for 2 pax. Any extra will depend on my relationship with the wedding couple.

[Igene]

It's damn funny that here we think of whether they can "cover" when giving ang bao, as if Bai Tok is to earn money, or at least not lose.
Anyway, it is what it is here ...

Follow market rate lor. Else next time see you bin chao chao also difficult for both.

[Terraces]

Don't attend give $100 can??

 

[teambbq]

Just go to the pan pac website, you can find the wedding lunch/dinner costs there, different days different costs. Remember to add in gst and service charge.

Then since you are a working adult, it’s good manners to give enough to cover the cost of your seat.

your ang pow no have cover GST and liquor charges

Usually gst ish within the price i suppose. Liquor wise most tiams the restaurants will allow wedding banquets to supply their own liquor without corkage charge. But if both are not inclusive, then chiu are right that i neber account for them.
