I just talked to my fren who had his chinese wedding reception last week
He told me they received 15 RM10 angpao from the guests during that night
What do u think about this? RM10 angpaos not acceptable?

LOL...Personally I dont get invited often because I will just ignore all those invitations via whatsapp/fb/wechat etc. If you need to invite via social media that just mean thats the sort of friendship we are having... not close enough to get invited.
BTW, what most people failed to realized is how hard life is for some people. You maybe earning 5k or 10k a month for your own usage only but not everyone have the same luxury. Some have kids to feed too. Not to mention housing/car loan. Do you have to invite because you are neighbours? My parents has so many neighbours that they grow up together. When I was getting married, they selectively invited those who are better off financially. Is it harsh? Not really. When you are so close with them, you just have to be frank. They maybe ashamed to bao RM50 since really known for tens of years, and you also dont have the financial to really bear all these losses. Just invite them to the buffet on the pre night.
I think people shouldnt simply invite friends or neighbours that they think they should invite. Just invite close friends and relatives. Make the banquet small-medium sized so that you have time to greet the them properly. The food also arrived faster. Then it will be a better experience for everyone. As of now, what I can say is chinese wedding banquet is a nightmare for most people.
