[quote]\"MMMI remember a angmoh big boss went to our wedding (another colleague and mine) with his spouse and he only gave $40 angpow..... Not even enough to cover our cost.

$40 from a angmoh couple attending wedding dinner? This is ridiculous!!
The market rate for wedding dinner
- Hotel min $100 per person
- Restaurant min $80 per person[/quote]DS' first-month dinner was held in a hotel restaurant.

We received $50 angpow from a family of 4...and the 2 kids are not baby/toddler kind, but full-grown late teens!!

Wah :!: Ang moh boss got guts to face pple later still! Really uncommon.


We had foreign guests for wedding but heng they are really generous, esp the Jap and Hk friends.

maybe angmo not familiar with local practise

He could have asked his secretary. In addition, he has been in Spore for years type. I think he is a dutch so more kiam siap.

I feel that don't give extra never mind. At least must let people cover cost. Unless of course the family is having some financial issues type then can understand.

I have a close relative who was married and divorced a few months later. Already given quite a hefty sum at the wedding.


Now I heard she's going to get married again and going to have another hotel dinner.

How much should I give now?

BigDevil, you lucky still get some $…

My DS 1 month celebration also at hotel.
Cousin family came in full force(3 grown boys). All we got was a spongy toy car…the type from $3 shop in the heartlands…
( remember the no flush toilet family )

How about MIA no show
I think I will just follow market rate for tables, dun consider the 'relative' part liao, very siong leh

And there was also one particular relative who has her ROM at a luxurious hotel - and of course must give quite big 'ang pow' lah since we are invited.


And now within half a year, she's going to have the traditional wedding dinner at another grand hotel! :moneyflies:

So the question again, how much should I give this time??? The usual or lesser since I've given once???
