To be honest, you can’t be calculative about these things. What I like about the Chinese culture here is that there’s an understanding that when you attend a wedding dinner, your ang pow should be at “market value” depending on where the dinner is hosted and if alcohol is served.

Good luck getting anything close to that at Indian/Malay weddings. I’ve seen families with 5 kids come and sapu the food without even gifting a cent. At the end of the day, when we host a wedding dinner, it’s with the intention of sharing our special day with those invited. It’s their presence that matters.
