So my Malay friend (i supper with him at least once a month) since the past .. say 10 years... finally getting married at 37 y.o . He memang lone ranger and otaku type... finally managed to find a nice girl that suits him and finally settle down.. his first GF... before that all the while only jackoff to porn online only la.

So if i solo go to his wedding and give RM388 angpow for his wedding ok ka ... since quite close la..

Or is it too little? Don't wanna be so cheapo cos i know he's gonna be quite tight as he's moving out of his house after purchasing a RM800K property.

5 ringgit is enough. Put in the sampul/angpow... at the kenduri, you salam/shakehand with the host(usually the father).. put the angpow in your hand while 'shakinghand'.. the host will take that angpow(salam kaut)

Malay don't take their sampul and note, whose who sampul it is.. Basically, they're fine with any amount less than than rm50.

If you're really his close, SERIOUSLY NAMED your sampul, inside or outside. I'd say better higher than rm300. Yea, you know how deserted we are after wedding sad.gif

Normal $10 - $20 if alone.
Close friend / subordinate / relatives $50
Immediate family member >$100 - $1k

Malay wedding no money also they don't care and they don't keep track who gives.

They just want you to eat & celebrate the occasion

This is so true. Malays dont care much about money because they already happy celebrate the wedding and give their guest eating food and drink.

But we as a guest also want to give money to them because we also very happy they happy wedding.

Better give household items la. More appreciated like that. Something simple like kitchen items, rice cooker, electric fan, chair, etc. Make sure not too big the present if not you make other people that give present feel kecik hati.

This. Normally if u handover the money to his parents it will be theirs. Unless u give it directly to him, he wont get it.

But this is among my friends and family la. Other ppl families may be different.

Ayam meleis, during my wedding, i never expected any angpow, all i wanted was to share my big day with family and friends, their attendance would be enough.

But one of my really good friend did gave me a really nice chunk though, he's a great guy.

No need to give anything la... Your presence is good enough for him as a friend. If your friend is a muslim, he married for the sake of Allah...

ikut suka u la, at least rm10.. tak wajib pun but to celebrate the pengantin kan..

later u kahwin people will give to u also, the moment after everything finish, sometimes all the money can cover back the wedding event cost.
