Sorry, maybe I wasn't being very clear.
I've never attended a Chinese wedding at the Four Seasons
before, and I've been asking around about the ang pao market rate
for weddings held there. But no one has been able to give me an
accurate range. I have no idea where else to continue asking or how
to start calculating wedding ang pao rates (if there is even such a
thing).
I want to give a reasonable ang pao for my ex-colleague, even
though I belong to the "junior staff with moderate income" category
and not much balance left now in my savings account to boast about.
He belongs to the higher income group and well-to-do family, while
I don't.
That is all. I'm asking very nicely already. Just don't
associate me with the one who started this thread. Thanks very much
for your response, anyway, Mancha. Nice shot of sarcasm there,
first thing in the morning, and not much information that might
help me one bit.
Four Seasons is 5-Star, isn't it? The range that people have
been giving me are like SGD 60-80 for a wedding lunch held there.
Some say SGD 80 is good enough. How do I calculate how much I
should give? This kind of information is good to know for a goondu
like me. At the end of the day I'll probably be slipping in
something like between SGD 100-150 for him. After that I can forgo
lunch until my next pay-day. Yes, it is that bad for me.
So can anyone assist? If not then please save your respective
snide remarks (if any) for others. Thanks very much...
First, you must ask yourself, what is your status and your
relationship with the person gettting marry. Like me, a lady boss,
whenever staff getting marry and invited me, i have to slip in at
least $200, I dun care whether it is a 5 stars 6 stars or no
stars.
The relationship determine your ang pow, if it is just mere
frens, $80 will do, not to worry if it is a 5 or 6 stars, the
couples must be capable and rich to invite at a 6 stars hotel,
they dun expect an increase in ang pow, they just want a nice
memorable and grand wedding, beside the credit crisis and the
recession are here, dun expect too much in ang pow.
If me get marry, just put tent outside my Joo chiat house can
liao,...why give hotels earn.
