Come next month, I expect to receive 2 wedding invitations. Or to put it bluntly, it should be what we called ...2 summons.
When you are invited to a wedding dinner, you are expected to pay for your share of the food. The higher the class of the restaurant, the higher you are expected to pay. Hotels and ballrooms seem to charge the highest for the dinners.
And we fear if the dinner is held at a 6-star hotel. And if it is held in such posh places, I will check with the hotel for the table price. By current standard, I think the ang pow in such place should be in excess of $200 per person.
Strangely, although we are more or less paying for the wedding dinner, we have no say in the venue.
And strangely, no bride or groom will ever think of showing consideration to the guests by holding the dinner at less expensive restaurants. All they think about is their own interests. They want a grand wedding .....yeah, but at whose expenses?
So, if you are thinking of your wedding dinner, please remember who pays for the food. Surely you don't want your dear friends and relatives to borrow money to attend your wedding dinner. Have a heart!<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

the couple should not force the guests to pay for the wedding dinner. The ang pow given should be taken as a token of appreciation, not as a price for the dinner.
So that means if the total angpow money can cover the dinner cost, then the couple is lucky. If not, they should just take it as they are treating their friends and relatives and should not complain about it.

RTC cheap leh.
dun think u hear "raffles" and "club" means it's asspensive.
u shd see the st regis menu, and ritz carlton, and shangri-la and fullerton.
ur jaws will drop and roll into the south china sea
dun just look at the price, look at the type of dishes served
and i think ang paos shd be given by gut feel and how close u are to the couple/half of the couple
and of cos, if u intend to invite them to YOUR wedding next time, u must 自动 a bit lahEdited by FireIce 19 Aug `08, 8:00PM

I never know wedding dinner .. ang pow has to be proportionate to the venue . lol.. thats fudged up. Seriously.. if they dun like my ang pow.. they can kiss my ass man. my amount is proportionate to the friendship between me n groom/bride. Not the venue.
lol..
If u cant afford to invite people to witness ur grand event , then dun bother hosting it at a super high class place expecting ppl to go and pay the amount. Ppl gonna dulan after going to ur wedding.. pai kua some more. Damn.. unless ALL ur friends or the ppl u invited are rich mofos. 1000 VVIP ppl. Which i doubt.
Wedding dinner is not a place to earn money. wtf...

the amount of money given is actually a form of respect. Just like you wouldn't wanna appear in your berms and slippers at their wedding.
but the same cannot be said of other culture's weddings. HDB Void decks anyone?
I'm sure if you're getting married, you would want it to be a grand one right?
And if too lil' money is given by some of your guest (those who are more well-off), you would think they're a bunch of stingy a*sholes.
For those who are less well-off and you know their financial situation and stuff, you really wouldn't mind 'em giving less than what is required to cover their share of the dinner.
