It is good to enlighten ppl and share wit ppl who think likewise. I too agree wit TS. I always gv angpow above table price but shake head when ppl complain they get small angpow value.

If cant afford big wedding, do it at own means. Dun complain abt ppl who gv angpow smaller than per seat price.

If complain, better give a announcement thanking everyone who attend for the generous angpow. And if not bcuz of their attendance, this grand wedding dinner would not come to pass cuz limited cash for it.

then is those people who complaint got problem. But doesn't mean that Ts should ask their friend why need to give angpao? Read his previous replies lol.

eh this is not rude, if she dont have the intention of taking advantage of this wedding dinner to earn money or cover back her own cost, she wont feel anything. So i know she held this for 面子,so pay lor....

The fucking worst is there are some couples even expect to make a profit from the ang pow money after footing the restaurant bill.

Ptui!

TS is right

Y is it compulsory to expect getting angpow from ppl u invite?

Angpow is suppose to be a blessing not a compulsory gift to sponsor a grand wedding which u cant afford but thick skin wanna have it. And this wedded couple forget that wit this angpow, it can sponsor their wedding.

Wedded couple should be happy that the ppl are coming for their wedding to share their happiness with them. Not expect "sponsorship" in return

Ppl mindset hv to change and think that this angpow blessing culture has evolve to something as compulsory already.

Look at the indian and malay wedding. SHow ur face to their wedding, they happy adi without asking for "sponsorship". That is the beauty of wedding. To share your wedding bliss with ppl you grew up wit. Not expect ppl to leave the wedding wit "sponsorship"

If i know any of my frens who cant afford to attend my wedding, i will juz gladly tell them no need angpow, juz come and enjoy my wedding cuz i want u come.

plz note: dun u think it is ridiculous for ppl to think whether they can AFFORD to attend a wedding especially when they hv financial difficulties? Y do we need to burden ourself by thinking can afford or not? Wedding should be the wedding couple efforts n worry, not the attendees!

Ur wedding u invite me go makan why i need to pay back in ang pow like i sendiri go makan buffet leh? suppose i go is give u blessing only wat....This is y many people hate going to wedding dinner.sit there like chicken/prostitute makan n go home sleep nothing to do n waste time especially not close punya. Give less than rm70 then komplain..... ang pow suppose is blessing only right..... why must give back atleast min rm100 ? just like paying for my own dinner nia no meaning....still need to sit there until butt kemek....

LoL.... Its not easy to break the tradition
Anyway, marriage is a blessing.... Ang pow is just a token of gift.... Unless u intend to buy electrical goods, bed, pillow,or anything to the couple

Ang pow replace goods gift as a matter of facts

At reception chi mui hv a list of name of attendees, you go they tick your name and ask you sign on a large card on table then they check your ang pow got write name or not if NO they'll write your name down.

a chinese wedding dinner is supposedly a ceremony to show to ur frens and relative that u are married, who is ur wife. It's just like a stage for u to tell ur frens and family, hey guys, she is my wife, we baru marry.

So in return, those that attend usually help back the bride la, financially. U think cheap kah mau do wedding dinner. Those that attend is the bride's fren and family ma. So u help me, I help u la.

Bride treat u as his relative or fren, baru invite u go. So u help him back and repay little for the dinner lo. it's common courtesy for a chinese wedding dinner. Up to u how much u wanna pay.

just from the bride's pov, this dinner is to let my frens and relative noe that I have married this gal.

from the guest's pov, ok la, the bride respect me as his frens/family, appreciate his effort to invite me, hence help with the dinner bill lo.
