The food in the picture, doesn't seems anything close to $250. I think it would be fair to ask her for the receipt for proof of payment, if she doesn't have it, then ask her where she order the food from, maybe she can check the price of the food through those places.

the break down looks reasonable, but where is the rest of $50

if i were you, i would ask the girls why they gave money to the Caucasian.  if you believe this is more than your budget already, skip or pay less in 人情.  standard is only $50 ar.
ask for a big "open door" lai si instead?
sometimes i don't understand why some brides think her girlfriends are willing to contribe a lot.

    no 'open door' red pockets, no red pockets for bridesmaid. bride said she follows white culture. =.= if so, shouldn't be even doing 人情.  whatever, I dont' want her to 唱 me about giving less in 人情. i thought standard is $65?

    if only 十元八塊, I wouldn't even going to care about it. The thing is..... it's not 十元八塊..... and it's not about the money part anymore. The bride actually said that it's none of her business and told me to suck it up. And, 個 bride 講到明, 我一定要俾人情, 唔可以 .... 以下補上.... 要俾多D, 因為bridesmaid 要俾多D wor.................. 0甘咪做兩次禮囉, 好似? 倸~~ 嫁兩次咩.... =.=

if she is follow the "white culture", she should responsible for all your costs, like dress, make-up &...
if you are not willing to, you shouldn't be responsible for the cost of the party.  she is the one who receive all the gifts, she should pay for the it.  i never heard the bride will force the bridesmaid to pay for anything.

First time hearing bride force bridesmaid to pay, and tell ppl "一定要俾人情, 唔可以 .... 以下補上.... 要俾多D"... all kinds of ppl out there.

Rainy
