Ang Pow Issues...

[MMM]

But there are also some genuine cases. When I got married 11 years ago. A korean colleague working in Spore. Think she was the IT Director. She gave me a cheque and even asked me how to spell my name correctly on the cheque.

I think is from the show \"企鹅爸爸\".

Bingo!!!

[MMM]

Actually, saw on some of those wedding cards. "Cash gift is preferred". Maybe they can also include. "No presents and no cheques please". Or Cheque should be made payable to "XXX".


Haha maybe can add interbank transfer nowadays too. Just drop me a email to XXX after you’ve transferred the amount so that I can verify.

ha ha, just two, so we lugi $100 since we also have two

.... Maybe you should start to mirror our system. Flat rate for all nieces and nephews regardless how many kids each family has. The current rate is $20 and it has been like this for the past 9 years.

What to do. Everytime when it comes to DH's family, he would always say that we don't have to be calculative. I agree that we do not have to be calculative once or twice, but after so many years, the receiving end ought to be zhidong (automatic) right, yet nothing happened.

MMM:

This is how they split the bills for special occasion meals too. Eg. XXX amount over 5 kids. So when the youngest only has 3 (hubby + herself), she still need to pay a equal share.

For my family in the past, all my older siblings are already married (can't remember if got kid already or not), when it comes to the special occasion meals, I also paid equal share even though there was just myself, and that was fine with me. Nowadays, things had become more complicated... bills somehow will get split 4:4:2. Agree that one need not be too calculative.

For DH, it is a \"non issue\". They all expect him to pay. :x :stupid:

for our wedding dinner, I also received a cheque in one of the ang pow. It was from my elder brother and it was a BIG one. :love:

[corneyAmber]

Cheques are perfectly fine. That has always been my preferred mode.

[tankee]

maybe next time the IN mode would be cashless


set up payment option of credit card, NETS, cashcard, interbank transfer, paypal, etc at the wedding reception desk.

You mean a cash cheque inserted into the CNY ang pows?

Can also give KSP points.

Since buds paid 8888 KPs for a $350 Wii, the going exchange rate for KPs is about 100 KPs for S$3.94
