goingkookies u recently did it, did u expect gift?

he said he's going to do a big wedding thingy later next year....

just bring along for in case

for my registration.. it was in brisbane..a nd only my aunt n her family came with our housemates

we 'chia' korean lunch but no one fgave us gifts.. wait.. i think the korean couple gave us ang pao

i think for me.. the question should be : how close r u to ur friend?

if it's ur really good close friend.. r u willing to be generous? if u r.. then u can give either a small angpao token.. or a gift?

maybe a wedding card and a small simple gift just for congratulations?

if it is not exactly a close friend.. i doubt he/she would have invited u for the ROM eh..

how simple is simple dinner? and how small?

we met in clubs...see him couple of times. cant say real close....cant say its hi bye either...its like ur ex housemate...used to be close

and he moved on...... didnt see each other for couple months.

small as in.... doing it at home....! most probably cater a bit and home cooked a bit.

Bring a bottle of wine,i guess

i dunno wor....all my friend scratching head wondering if we should bao ang pao or not.

if i bao this time...then if the real big wedding comes.... then i have to bao again?? dont make sense also..

since home affair bring wine or extra food lor, makes sense to me since he told u banquet is next yr

i also agree...but if one of the dickhead bao ang bao this time.....isnt that make all of us look so bad!!??

U ald brought food and it's ald told to everyone got banquet next year,dont care la.but any occasion angbao is fine anyways

Actually need to give angbao if invited to banquet but canot attend also.now ppl hardly practise that also liao

my grandma still stickler for that.. old ppl ma haha she hardly leaves the house now except to see doctors or CNY -.-"

yup.. all give good idea.. what naeboo says is good.. bring wine should suffice

only sibu lang very generous lor.... till today....of 10 weddings 7 are "no receive ang pao" one..... other areas...more like 2 of out 10

of course when theres free dinner... it wont be as grand as those in other areas.

thank u all for ur suggestion. i shall let u know how i go tonight.....!!!

goingkookies i think ur wedding got receive ang pao right

in sibu..the invitation got write no gift required one.

i think it is written as "all gifts are respectfully decline" or something similar.

rich sibu ppl is like this.

yaaa rich PJ ppl lend their friends money hor nick horrrrrrrrrrr

Lol

Rich pj ppl house got pond one !! Nick I comfirm u marry no gift accepted one

ok here is how it went. we all gave ang pao. first his mum "oh no need no need. only come to play nia"

then we insist.....then mum declined...then we took back ang pao...and the end. we gave to the groom

and ask him to have the ang bao.

mine was a wedding luncheon in a chinese banquet hall with hundreds of ppl.. lol so diff from ur friend's simple family dinner

im sorry ... nowadays 700-1000 seems like a norm in sibu. and no ang pao receive one.

gift are all respectfully declined. for 700 1000 banquet hall 10 course meal

wahhhh.. mine wasn't that big 420 lol

wow.. it's the norm in sibu? r ppl all generally that well to do? decline gifts?

wow.. it's the norm in sibu? r ppl all generally that well to do? decline gifts?

people generally dont accept gift. like written above.. 7 weddings out of 10 no receive one.

and some cannot afford ... only can pretend to afford lor.

if u got receive ang pow. people will think... so cheap meh...wanna get ang pow one.... thats the traditional people in sibu think lor.

Myst3: harrrr...so kiasu wor.angbao big or small just to give blessings to the newlyweds ma.if need the angbaos to cover,dont do so big la

Sibu Lang like that la !! Muka more important don't really care if dog or cat die of starvation

Then ppl generally use ang pao money go advertise in paper Congrats the newly we'd
