Going to a wedding? Check ang bao rates first

STOMPer Ditzy came across a photo on Facebook that lists the recommended rates for ang pows when attending weddings at hotels. The rates vary according to season, day and the grading of the hotel.

Said the STOMPer:

"I came across this image on Facebook.

"I think it's interesting that someone would actually come up with a graphic for this.

"Perhaps I should just attend lunch receptions to save money."

To add-on, all couple should invite relatives and really closed friend to attend their wedding and witness their marriage base on their own financial ability. I choose a well known wedding venue and it is a restaurant. No free hotel stay, just love the deco setup and most important the quality of food. I didn't expect the dinner to be sponsored by my guest but neither I would invite someone who come for food rather than witnessing our marriage and blessing for us.

I agree with Actblur21 that one should plan their wedding base on their own abilities rather fall into debts after the wedding night.

I would also like to emphasize that it is totally unprofessional to your friends and relatives if you just simply slip a $10 red packets when you attend a wedding in a restaurant or hotel, it would be wise to turn down the invitation in view of your own financial ability.

Everyone here, I guess some of you don't understand the tradition is all about. It is to invite your relatives and villiages/Neighbour over for a dinner and announce your marriage.

Nowadays, most people forgotten or thought that the certificate of marriage is consider yourself married however it is only in the eye of law.

Almost across all culture your marriage will only be valid if a cultural event being held. Some kind of ceremonial or religious event.
