TS,

I agree with you.

I think those wedded couple who expect to see at least rm100 angpow for their dinner and complain abt those rm50 should make a point to thank the attendees for the angpow sponsorship dinner. If not bcuz of them, they will hv burden having this grand dinner.

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.

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!

Expecting your guests to give at least a minimum amount of angpow is not only disrespectful to them, but to you and your family. When you throw a wedding banquet, you're inviting your guests  to celebrate one of the most important days in your life with you.
Their presence alone should be a great honour. Angpow is a token of appreciation and should be left at that. There should be no pressure whatsoever.

I'm getting married soon, and already decide with my wife-to-be to throw a banquet that is intimate and keep it below 200 pax. Any guest we invite will be significant people in our lives.

We've set the money aside and all expenses should be rightly borne by us. If there's angpow money, we consider it bonus and gift. And if nobody gives us any angpow at all, we're absolutely fine with that.

Wedding dinner is not a business

Congrats and may you and your special half have a blissful wedding

And that the people who attend your wedding return home happy because of your love sharing
