標題: Wedding Cash vs Gift [打印本頁]

作者: BiscottiGelato 時間: 2011-7-5 12:08 標題: Wedding Cash vs Gift

I know most people do Wedding Cash, esp for Chinese couple.

What is the couple is more contemporary, throwing a western reception, and they are LOADED and make buckets load of $$$? A few hundred dollars probably means nothing to them... Still just cash in a card and be done with it?

Sensible opinions and discussion from all sides welcomed!

i will ask which they will prefer if i am close to the couple..otherwise i iwll just give cash

It would be difficult to send gift that is in need and appreciated bythe couple.
I still have wedding gifts stacked in my attic unopened, for 25 years.

I would say if they are CBC they may prefer gifts... as a courtesy, always include a gift receipt so they can return. Like somewhereintime, I still have some wedding gift unopened after 5 years and some of them are obviously re-gifted gifts which to this day I still take a grudge... (of course no receipt and I don't really find those things useful) i rather they came celebrate with me without bringing anything to the wedding.

You can kindly ask the couple if they set up any wedding registry so you can kinda tell if they prefer gifts or cash by how they answer you.

作者: BiscottiGelato 時間: 2011-7-5 13:27

they are actually truly loaded. so no, they don't have a gift registry...

I don't know. I am thinking if I ask them what they prefer they'll say don't buy anything, dun give anything, type of answer, which is useless for my purpose...

I was just thinking in general, would people still give cash in this situation, or would resort to a gift? Say if they half reasonably think they can buy something that that's somewhat useful/meaningful.

I mean, if you are the couple, and spent say 100k per location for a wedding and don't really think much about it. and you get back 20/30k from the wedding, does it mean anything then?

to me, is enough down payment for a small apartment

有錢人唔一定慷慨（唔計較），無錢嘅唔一定孤寒。

Still in this case I will give cash gift. In the end if the newly wed doesn't "care" about those $, can make a donation to help those in need.

Cash is always a safe choice unless you know what they like exactly. 我寧願行D, 都好過製做多D唔等使既野

Cash is best, since they will use it.

for myself
If I am very very very close to the couple then more likely I will give gift
other wise, cash

for me, cash

作者: cinderelly 時間: 2011-7-8 13:56

cash

many caucasians are slowly switching over to receiving/giving cash for weddings as well - and no longer have gift registries

作者: BiscottiGelato 時間: 2011-7-8 15:54

i caved in. gonna cash it. the couple is from out of town, only back for wedding. can't come up with a gift that is small/light and they'd like. If they are local i'd definately do gift, but it's something relatively large and fragile. cash this time i guess... thx for the opinions tho!
