$200 per pax are you sure

10 course meal with lobsters?

Chin Eng SG

you can choose not to go.... then give a small angpow or don't give if your skin is thick enough.

deathwish SG

Thats $2000 a table... Do u mean Banquet was held at Ritz Carlton with the most expensive menu?

Jerlyncrystal SG

All-in my cousin paid about $2200 per table. Since he chose such an expensive place he is ready to bear full costs. I think he covers about $25,000 for the dinner. He can afford it, and said he is happy so everybody is also happy.

For the ang pow it is given to help out the couple and it is really up to the individual on the amount and also how much they can afford.

Plus I believe most couples who have it at an expensive venue is ready to take a loss and they are treating it as a treat to friends and relatives.

rainee SG

the couple should not force the guests to pay for the wedding dinner. The ang pow given should be taken as a token of appreciation, not as a price for the dinner.

So that means if the total angpow money can cover the dinner cost, then the couple is lucky. If not, they should just take it as they are treating their friends and relatives and should not complain about it.

deathwish SG

I think if it were me, even if guest all give me 1 rice cooker each i oso take... =X

It's the thought that counts not the value....

2cansam SG

i'd prefer to bold a note on my wedding invitation : No red packets please

deathwish SG

Later end up u can open electronics shop =X

Jerlyncrystal SG

Yup, thats great. How about like this. No red packets please, a cheque will do.

menokki SG

Always cribbing about money, we Sinagporeans! Just give lah! After all its your cousin. Or buy about 30 big sweep tickets and give.

Chris1988 SG

sometimes the money doesn't go all to the couple. sometimes the ang pao collected from certain table would go to their parents also

nobody in the right mind would think that the ang pao from the wedding dinner would cover the cost

youyayu SG

if choose kena sai place.. ppl say cheap.. too high class ang pow too expensive..

wa piang what do u want sia..

just give by what you can.. no point giving and then tml night u no need eat dinner

charlize SG

Give $10 ang pow but don't write name on the ang pow lor.

yourmotherrr SG

$200 for a head isn’t that bad. trust me. I’ve been to weddings where its $3500 a table. Check Raffles Town Club for details.

FireIce SG

RTC cheap leh.
dun think u hear "raffles" and "club" means it's asspensive.

u shd see the st regis menu, and ritz carlton, and shangri-la and fullerton.
ur jaws will drop and roll into the south china sea

dun just look at the price, look at the type of dishes served

and i think ang paos shd be given by gut feel and how close u are to the couple/half of the couple
and of cos, if u intend to invite them to YOUR wedding next time, u must 自动 a bit lah
