Hi there,
I'm going to several weddings this month and have a question about 俾禮金.
How much should I pay per person? And do I put the $ into those money holder thing from Hallmark?
And what do I write on the card and do I have to write down the amount included onto the card as well?
thank you so much for your help! =)作者: cicilau 時間: 2009-8-4 21:13
1 thing: the monetary gift you're giving is NOT 禮金, it's 人情 (禮金 is what the groom / groom's family gives to the bride's family).
Last time I just put the 人情 in a red pocket, then put the red pocket in a card congratulating the new couple. You don't need to state the amount you're paying on the card.....that seems tacky to me.作者: Yui 時間: 2009-8-4 22:02
記住系個利是封上寫上你個名，個amont就不用了。作者: sisi 時間: 2009-8-5 07:50
thank you for the info! =) helps a lot!!
by the way, who do I give the red pocket to? Does it matter if I'm the bride's frd or the groom's frd?作者: Yui 時間: 2009-8-5 08:06
you can either put the $ in the red pocket, or u can put it inside the hallmark card. just remember to write your name outside the envelope of the red pocket or hallmark card, just so the bride/groom know who that is from. Usually, u give it to the person sitting at the reception table, (the one that welcomes u once u go inside the restaurant), and they will ask u if u r bride side or groom side. U can also give it to the bride / groom, but I thnk they might be really busy that day, so its better off to give it to the reception person.作者: sisi 時間: 2009-8-5 19:53
