please dont expect the angpow given to cover the dinner cost. be prepared to top up.
i'm doing one this year in ipoh.

pre wed photo = 3.6-4 (freelance photog + freelance wedding gown)
actual day vid/photo = 2.1
bride dowry = 10 tables of dinner + (the gor dai lai cost)
accommodation = 3.5k (heng dai + close relative)
honeymoon = postpone as long as possible. LOL

in the beginning i've already told my wife no bridal shop package because i hate it and i feel it is not worth it.

calculate and spend wisely. don't start the new journey in debt.
