Ang pow for Older Brother (unmarried)

[sootyangel92]

Hello! need some advice.

1) I am getting married, so during tea ceremony, am i supposed to serve my older brother tea? and he will give us an angpow even if he is unmarried?

2) Also, as he will be helping out with my wedding, am i supposed to give him an angpow to thank him for his help?

3) he has a girlfriend (older than us) who will be assisting me with my wedding, I assume i can give her an angpow right?

Thanks!!

Hi! This was based on my own experience, not sure if it applies to all.

1) I was a single older sister when my younger brother got married. He served me tea and I gave an ang pow. I was told I could buy a gift (gold) for the couple too but it was easier for me to give ang pow

2) I was also his Emcee for the wedding dinner, and I got an ang pow

3) assume that anyone who helps out at a wedding gets an ang pow
