Latest Wedding Angbao Rates for 2012/2013

COVs? Oh ... some friends will have problems with $200.

Ok that fine if I do not many local friends to give me $200 ang pows I will still invite them anyway if they are my true friends.

Equally I do have few oversea friends and if they fly into Singapore to attend my wedding dinners they will give at least $1000.

I can afford $20K no problem at all as I already paid $65K COV for my new home. If my local friends cannot afford to give $200 ang pows, also no problem I can treat them

Guess you are right. Cut your suit according to your cloth. If your friends are of the irk who think $200.00 ang pow is a lot of money, better do it in a cheap restaurant.

Wedding couples do not expect to break even totally. Usually spend $200 per head (including the liquor and wine) and would usually collect $150 ang pow on average (even with guests who try to make them break even because they did not count the booze).

So you had thought all your so called frds who had been 'frds' with you or seem to be frds with you will be frds when you are about to die and fuck off?

Cos they seems to be 'your kind of frds you termed as cut from the same cloth mah'

Nah, for your kind I'm sure even your own children will distance themselves from you when that time comes for you.

Talking about money had make you such that you could not even realise that the kind of frds you had, were nothing more than the same image of yourself.

A image which hates itself.

Distant relatives not as close as friends you know and colleagues you have?

distant relatives are those that are separated by at least some degree, e.g only sharing the same great-great-great-grandparents or something.
there are times where me see these distant relatives less than once a year and out of the blue, these folks invite you to their sons' or daughters' wedding.
no thanks to the minimum number of tables set by these hotels, me feel as thou' me is just a digit filling up the table requirements.

OMG! You mean you can track your genealogy to "same great-great-great-grandparents"???

What kind of relatives that spends their time tracing until that far to invite them to their wedding? It's possible your great-great-great-grand-cousins could have married each other and the whole family tree is as twisted as the a banyan.

example lah, bro. but my family tree can track to my great-grandpa :o:o:o
other types of distant relatives include those cousins from maternal side, etc...

 

[cass888]

WTF are you talking about? If your friends cannot afford $200.00 ... well ...

So you had thought all your so called frds who had been 'frds' with you or seem to be frds with you will be frds when you are about to die and fuck off?

an acquaintance or friend whatever...invited me to his wedding but i really don't want to attend it. since he invited me, hongbao must give. right? will ask another person to give it on my behalf. i'm not attending so hongbao money halved? thinking of not giving hongbao at all but paiseh. what's the usual practice in this case.

Oh I see. If one trace so far back into ancestry, we're all brudders.

 

[WinneMUCCA]

Oh well, depends on who you are I guess. People who can't afford $200.00 don't belong on a guest list anyway.

I rather donate the $200 than give it to them to show-off.

Oh I see. If one trace so far back into ancestry, we're all brudders.

the last bottleneck in the human population was during the last ice age just over 75 thousand years ago, complementing the fact that we could have mingled with the neantherdal, that's easily over 2000 generations of separation :p:p:p

Market rate? No way I'm paying market rate. I decide the rate. Got XO, give more. Just beer, forget it.

 

[SeeingRED]

Does anyone have the rates for wedding in KL?

 

[Thick Face Black Heart]

no thanks to the minimum number of tables set by these hotels, me feel as thou' me is just a digit filling up the table requirements.

They want to invite as many people as possible because they want to look good and boost their ego. As I said for me its the degree of respect. They send me a proper card, i will go and I will give a respectable amount. $100 for distant relatives, $200 for close, $500 for extremely close (extremely close as in you practically bathed together when you were toddlers, male + female in the same tub). SMS invite, sorry, you get $30 bucks and I make sure I eat for 3 people.

What I found is that over the last 10 years, couple are extending invitations to people they hardly know. Gives me the impression that the Ang Pau is the intention and not the gracing of an auspicious event.
