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!
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.
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?
