Sup guys!! If you've ever been invited to a Chinese wedding, you may have encountered the age-old tradition of giving a red packet or 'hong bao' 🧧. For those who aren't familiar, this isn't just a fancy envelope - it's a symbol of good luck and prosperity, and a way to share in the joy of the couple's big day.
But figuring out how much to put in can be a bit of a head-scratcher, right? 💆♀️ Fear not, I'm here to break it down and make the task a little less daunting!
1️⃣ First stop, Google! Check out the per pax cost at the hotel where the wedding banquet is held. This gives you a basic ballpark figure. If you're invited for lunch, it could be slightly less than dinner.
2️⃣ Next, think about your relationship with the couple. Were you a surprise +1 or are you close pals? Your contribution should reflect your personal connection and investment in their future. 👫
3️⃣ Lastly, don't let peer pressure get to you. This isn't a competition to see who can give the most. It's about sharing your blessings within your means. Unless you're dealing with a particularly calculative friend, trust me, they won't take it personally.
Remember, the hong bao is a gesture of goodwill, not a stress test. So next time you're heading to a wedding, keep these tips in mind and you'll find the right balance that respects tradition, celebrates the couple, and respects your budget. 🎉💵 #HongBaoEtiquette #WeddingTraditions #weddingsg #weddingtips #hongbao #lifehacks
