In Chinese culture, giving an ang pow at a wedding dinner is customary and expected.In some cases, guests may feel pressure to give a certain amount of money in their ang pow, which can be stressful and uncomfortable.
It was supposed to make it convenient for guests to transfer money, in which case guests are requested to print the receipt and put it in the red envelope so that the counter staff can confirm it.A Fresh Look At Traditions A netizen commented on a list of “rules” on the invitation, including “no alcohol is served, and guests must bring their own.”
They said the wedding banquet is a sincere celebration with family and friends, not an occasion for “doing business”.There’s a reason why Chinese people call a wedding invitation surat saman. Memang rasa macam kena saman. There is pressure to give a lot. Ang pow amount is recorded in a book for kira-kira. So most would find out cost of the dinner and pay at least that.Reason: Chinese/Thai bg angpow banyak.
Might as well spend the money spending my family a good dinner
Forced Ang pow is a business venture. Not attending is the best options. Just send wishes in WhatsApp. Solved the issue.
I remember not so long ago one of my staff got married. I asked my PA how much should I give...she said at your level RM1000. Terkejut beruk saya pasal majlis kahwin lain paling banyak saya pernah bagi hanya RM50
They called it ''Red Dynamite'' in Singapore. One invitation, you are expecting to surrender Sgd 100 - 200 !
No need to fuss, just don't go.
Table of 10, RM100. Would rather have received a toaster or a table fan. 😔
