Lets say if i save up to RM 45,000...

Do you think it is enough for a wedding?

cepat sudah mau kahwin?

accident ker?

Nope, unless you go for buffet style.

Budget RM100,000 at least, but you will get back in return at least 50% (angpows).

Aiya, just planning years down the road lah.

I don't have GF yet.

rm20k minimum... more than that, you're good

get married on a train la. steam engine.

kenot, marney value keep droping.

now 45k maybe 2 years later 60 to 80k liao. kenot budget 1.

if wan, must marry this year.

Use low cost method unless u wan big bash wedding at 5 star, get a wedding planner to help!

kampung style...more than enough d...

kenduri kawin kat kampung lebih dari cukup ni..

kenduri kat KFC la
panggil 50 org cukup la..
hehe

Small wedding enuff.

Emphasize on the word small.

45k in kk......maybe can make it.

nak murah kawen kat golok

Minimum RM250,000 for wedding

I think is enough 1,as if for chinese style wedding.

Summore u can cover up with all those ang pows!

Depends with who you got married with.

If anak YB.....

Chinese style vs western style...

Which one is easier to wallet?

I must save 5 to 6 years down the read.

1 table with good dishes less than RM2K, around RM1.7K. Most of the wedding I attended is around this price.

RM1.7K x 50 tables = RM85,000

lol, RM100,000 also can't make it. Photoshoot, honeymoon, gifts, rings

I do not even have GF yet.

I am planning the money so that i can live easier in future

got target or not?

Chinese style got angpau can cover, malay style you will DIE standing.

indian style better. huband got receive marney from waifu family.

I am Chinese and maybe, someone in future also Chinese...

Hence, it is the question of western vs Chinese

western lagi teruk ,
you wont want to go to chinese restaurant . So ,
4-5 star hotel with western dishes 1 table already cost 2k . you do the math .

mana tau u married a melei gurl?

Yeah! you have big time wedding then after few years become divorced.. its quite sad right?

it doesn't matter if you go big time wedding or small wedding..

the important is, as long as you both loving each other for the rest of your lives it should be ok!

"for better or for worse till death do us part" - when you hear this to your wife/husband its priceless...

aren't u 15?

yes, you are right !

kampung2005 please take note

ayam samwat skeptikal

I never had any relationship even now.

I must plan finances for future to avoid heart attack

kahwin penting niat saje.. takde maknanya majlis kahwin sampai beratus ribu tapi hati dan niat bukan di tempat yang betul...



LOL

estimated back in 2001 with my ex- .. was RM20k enuf for a budget ones, including bachelor event .. i suppose it could reach about RM30k for times like now (budget marriage excluding honeymoon spends)

My fren said KL ppl more stingy than KK ones, weddin banquet at Ocean for 60 table still turn some profit. KL one shortfall 15k.

walao, kk got 1 table rm 1.5k meh?? was planning to sum up onto rm 100k only le, madness.......

LOL, all the best mayne.........Now u have responsibility than surfing in /k/

price per table depends on what you want to serve your guests ma, you want to give them caviar/abalone/sakfin your suka lar. Just dont complain later bill come.

ur waifu riek western but your mother/father in law riek cainis stylo.

how?

chinese need this need that ... more expensive since need liquor and etc.

i see malay got rendang, ayam, briyani can gao tim ad ma...

but chinese get back ang pow also big ...

in the end i think almost same .. so no different between chinese and malay

melei definitely enuf

no, cainis got those morning style go take waifu there already spend few k's

waifu dinner also.

while meleis only 1 time. cainis riek few times.

wedding suit some want western and cainis stylo = veli teh expensive

The bunga telur and bally shoes

summore need nice and big car .. then want masuk door need give ang pow here and there ...

dinner 1 table around RM500 ... average i see around 40 table minimum .. already 20k

Need min RM5mil for wedding

ya ya. if relative got nvm. i got 1 frend wedding. she rent hummer = cost 800 ringgit per day

somemore those video man to record their wedding also cost few k's

y must get marry means have big car? rented? y rent? cannot use own car? shy?

my friends get marry use own car, Waja, Perdana V6, Sentra, Vios .. enuf wat .. trying to act big by renting for 1 day is just a waste rite?

better kawin lari less then 2k ...

this i blame to waifu said 'darling, please ler.... once in a lifetime...... i wan good memory of our wedding'

Melay is low cost only ma

Nikah is cukup .
btw, bersanding gonna cost some .

wah alot ppl no need marry edi...

missing roony ...
<------ Roony this way

melei i believe is enuf... buy raw item then ask family cook like kenduri...

chainis very lazy... need to go hotel and also show off to guest...

indians errr... i believe enuf also, expensive is only to the wife's side..cause got to bear dowry

depend on ppl... if wan make good memory y not... if wan to safe money... then use own car or borrow fren or family punya kereta if got nice1...

Must rent Veyron SS

............, let's say 5 years later, 100 table need at least rm 150k?

depend on place... if kl ya more or less dat much... but in kampung area like tenom 1 table around RM350...

easy la, kasi ur waifu perut buncit.

then you can demand back.. no need wedding dinner she also willing marry u

Must wedding in a cruise ship to Hawaii

more or less sure at sabah already, NOOOOOOOOO.. bloody -.-

hawaii no good for honeymoon. must go to moon only count

wedding in a tour, save more cost. direct fap in hotel

haha... RM5mil tak cukup bro...

The question is, when are you going to get married ?

Include the yearly inflation rate, say at good times = 3% or not so good times = 4.5% and above.

So the actual money is actually worth lesser then you thought over the time.

I can say RM45k is not really 'a lot' for the next 5-8 years.

Rm250 for 1 table in restaurent, 50 table only cost u 12500, there is still angpaw for those who are just married in order to pay off the bill

Renting Wedding Dresses, Cake, Rent Luxurious Car (If you have 1)
Wedding Photographing, Wedding Video, Angpao for elder peoples aka your new mom and dad

What else??

RM 250 per table? cainis 1? wat dish?

here hardly you get anything if below 800 ringgit per table.

u chinese... then no worries,
u just temporary invest only, the return of investment will come later
angpow & gold will more than enuf to cover ur cost

that why ppl said cainis very calculative. even marry also will count for ROI.

hahahahahah

45K is enough , depends on how many person you invite lo . . . You will get back half of the money i think , let say each table has 10 person,each person give RM50 each angpou = RM500 . . . But mostly more than RM500 . . .

Actually that's quotation for kampung restaurent, here in KL i don't dare to imagine

no abalone
no shark fin
no bird's nest

i think more then enough .

When i went to relative's wedding banquet, they did not serve those, but that's in village.

ok, I should consider put 400 tables at kampung places then

Probably 6 years down the road.

renting better!

, who u want invite wor?

1 table, 9-10 peoples, 400 tables = 4000

now 45k, perhaps 6 years later around 60-75k ?

cincai invite anyone. coz min angpau is 100 ringgit nowaday

100 x 400 = 40k

40,000 - 10,000 = 30k untung

u got money buy house meh?

Ah, i must take inflation into account.

should look into investment for now on.

so will make your 45k cost till 65k

i bet even at sabah next time also need rm 1k one table ..............

Bos, some peoples won't come due to some reason and that's loss

people who have no time, people who don't really like you, people who don't have money

Just be careful, just watch tv3, got folk went bankrupt Cox overspend on wedding!

PJ house is expensive

Ah, invest

I shall invite whole lowyat.net member

can i come if all the lyn is going/invited ?? i pay RM200.. there is some1 i want to punch him on the face...

45K for wedding is just the tip of the iceberg.

You have to factor in on $$$:

1) House

2) insurance

3) car (2 cars)

4) kids (food, diapers, medical fees, pregnancy costs, education etc)

5) household expenses.

6) Nursery/caretaker

and manyak lagi

why just focus on the wedding ceremony???

Be more realistic. if your salary isn't at least 5 figure, then you need to depend on wife income to combine and make things work.

The benchmark that i use for financial planning in future would be "household income".

You are right that there are more important things to consider, namely house, insurance, and future education.

in melaka, u still can get RM500 to RM1k per-table for 8 course depend where you want

but canot order exact table, let say u 50 table, must spare at least 2 table more
because, there always cinapet, invite two, but bring bapa, nenek, anak, auntie uncle datang. totaly cost at melaka can RM80K is good enough,
50- 70% return for your money through any pow unless, beli waifu mahal..

if that the case, tell the father, "i already sleep with your daughter, so she tak laku anymore, give me discount! "

my frend kahwin have to pay rm8888 (<- very cheap already) for his wife, another have to pay rm18k

honeymoon at bali is good, because it a nice place to "play with your new wimmin" plus u can see ang moh naked on beach.. double kill

can, as long as you pay 200 ringgit

u sound like so experience

nice

can give less angpow to new papa

no, ask papa gip marney back somemore

many couples made mistake by using credit cards to finance their wedding ceremony, from purchase of weddng package/photography to the dinner itself, end up starting a family already in DEBT..

financial issues are the #1 cause of marital disputes. Husband and wife would have stress at work to bring food to the table, and stress when kids become sick etc, and need to travel early to send kid to nursery and come back early to collect the kid back, etc etc.

Thats why chinese marry late, and only at most 2 kids. And the sort of stress and time spend on work, can end up causing dysfunction to the family.

So u need to plan well, so that you dont waste time on money, but rather to spend time on family and kids and wife without needing to worry about money. If you're young, its time to start now.

A house or apartment unit costs at least 150K to 200K. Monthly installments of 1K, downpayment 10%. 30year loan. If you dont have much debt, and can afford, do buy now, and rent out first. Well, thats just one la. And figure how long it will take u to actually get that money to buy one unit/home. EPF account 2 can be used.

selling daughter???

i think next time need around 200k... , hope uk economy going well
