To make it easier for wedding guests, content creator Joseph Lee, a.k.a jobroseph, provided a simple guideline as to how much you should fork out for a wedding angpau, based on the venues. According to Joseph, if the wedding is at a 5-star hotel, guests should give around RM500 and above. Why? He joked that couples that marry here “don’t eat chicken rice at kopitiams. They eat chicken rice at 5-star hotels,” so the amount should reflect their lifestyle.
For weddings at a 3- or 4-star hotel, Joseph said that the couple are likely only having the wedding to please their parents, so guests should pay around RM300 to RM400. However, the angpau isn’t “bless the marriage” but instead to fund the couple’s therapy session for childhood trauma. Many netizens shared their reactions to Joseph’s “guideline”, but added that they have their pre-set angpau amounts. One netizen prefers to give angpau amounts with the auspicious number 8, saying, “best friend 288, close friends 188 and hi-bye friend ”. She also added that the venue doesn’t matter because her wallet might cry. Others joke that the couple should be happy with whatever amount they get, like one netizen who said, “I give RM100 to everyone.
