HOW MUCH WILL YOU GIVE TO A WEDDING LUNCH?
- Thread starter hopeful81

I think Hotels will remove the shark's fin dish upon the couple's request. There are people who are against eating shark's fin.
My point is, don't bullshit and inflate the table's price to take advantage of us well wishers.
Hee Hee, Blur King, during my brother's wedding dinner, one of our aunts came with his husband and 3 daughters, and gave a $30 ang pao. my grandma complained at every opportunity after which, even threaten to disown her... (she's her godmother)

Hi bugbug
I see...true....it is not ethical to inflate the table's price in order to make profits...the purpose of holding a banquet is to share with close ones the joy and happines of your most important day and not to take advantage of friends and relatives...
Regardless of the amount of ang pao given, we still have to appreciate them for turning up...

How much would you all give for Goodwood Park Hotel banquet lunch then?
Hi all,
I think nowadays, weddings, be it lunch or dinner, both are costly. And considering the food, wine and the reception cocktails that you are having; as well as the photos taken, a min $100 is the least you could give that couple a good blessing. Traditional Restaurant or Hotels Banq are the same. Perhaps hotels $118 at least.
Also based on how close your relationship with the couple, you should give even more. As this also show the respect for them and your sincere blessings.
I had seen people who are so cheapstake as to give only $30 or $50 while attending weddings. Please do consider, that the couple even bother to invite you in the first place.
Just my honest thoughts. Cheers.

I thought it's a common thing to write well wishes and names onto the ang paos before throwing them into the ang pao box.
Those who don't dare to write must be the cheapo nanas, I had a friend who recieved $30 for wedding dinner in a hotel. But some people may have genuiunely forgetten to write their names.
Perhaps to make it seem less mercenary, CareBearz can get helpers to remind guests to write down but keep it down & friendly, don't let guests feel like your helpers are policing.
Cheers!

It all depends whether the lunch is a buffet style anot. If it's my close friend, I will give $100-$120, for others I will give $50. Remember to indicate inside your invitation card if it's a proper lunch with 8 course meal.

Thanks for the swift reply Clover dear !!
Its buffet style...will most probably be giving $80+ if that's the case

it depends if u want face and pride... frankly, i don't think u will feel comfortable if u realise in the end that the dinner is way more than what you have given in the angbao (let's say if u bao S$50)... nowaday be it outdoor garden buffet (not at home) or hotel invitation, most pple already start giving S$100 a pax for the angbao minimum... unless it's a home buffet, then perhaps just a S$40-60 is good enough... ONLY eldery still in the situation of S$40-60 angbao which we cant blame cos they might be retiree or already don't earn much... but as a working adult, an S$100 in unavoidable...
of cos, to each have it own limitation... give something as to your comfortably... afterall angbao is a blessing gift only... the wedding couple shld not bother much about big or small...

I held my lunch banquet at orchard hotel (25 tables). Received angpao from $30 to $1200. At least 30% to 40% of the people gave less than breakeven amount. This group got quite a no of working adults. It's actually the small group of individual who is close to you give you alot..
for lunch, i think $80 to $120 is reasonable.

well, most people will still give $100 for wedding dinner.. this is excluding close friends and relatives...
for wedding lunch, i think people would give $80... no doubt, your wedding lunch might cost more.. but please dun expect your colleagues to level the difference for u.

How much would you give for a 8 course weekday dinner at Copthorne King hotel then?
I am a little upset because I actually want Regent hotel but dad keep telling me our relatives are poor (comes from the lower socio-economic class)
Plus we need min 10 tables, then my hubby is from taiwan so dont know anyone here. I moved to Australia since 18 so only know a few childhood and school days friends. 80% will be relatives + distant relatives
