I myself, received an invitation.<\/p>\n<p>This bring to mind, a recent viral condemnation of a bride who chastised her friend through social media, after receiving $50 each from her and partner as wedding ang pow.  In the message, the bride even listed down the cost of the dinner, reception &amp; cocktails, that worked out to $200 per head. As a result she and husband were very much short on paying off the reception.<\/p>\n<p>With above  in mind, I\u2019m wondering  \u2026\u2026.<br \/>\na) Do wedding couples have great expectations that guests must give enough to cover cost of their wedding banquet? (even if wedding couples choose to be extravagant and throw high end dinner?)<br \/>\nb) Is it obligatory for invited guests to give enough to cover for wedding couple\u2019s banquet?<br \/>\nc) Is it not acceptable for invited guests to give whatever they are comfortable with. (Case in point \u2013 If one only earns $1000\/mth or unemployed, is he or she expected to give $200 ? What if there\u2019s more than one invitation during the wedding season, that person will be in financial difficulty for that month.<br \/>\nd) Is it not totally rude and unbecoming of newly weds to demand and confront your friends for giving too little ?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hear from one and all your takes on this .<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nConstance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In less than 2 weeks, the wedding dinners will be in vogue during the lunar eighth month.
