It is quite standard for a hotel to charge between $600 to $1,500 for a wedding table depending on the dishes.

Do you maths, and you should be able to come out with the magical figure.:biggrin4:

It depends on your relationship to your friend. If close, then you may want to give more. For my situation then, my uncle gave me $400 for my ROM.

All posts made are of subjective nature by default, unless explicitly mentioned. I am afterall still human.

Actually, you can give around S$50 too if you are not that close with them. For buffets, that should cover their cost liao. :biggrin4:

Yeh.. Generally, people will give lesser for buffets i think? If it's not that close, $50 is enough.

not how much you can give, is how much you willing to give? use the friendship wif your friend as a guide to you.

Default Re: how much to give

depends on how close you are to your friend.
If you think he's only worth $2 only, why not???
And if you think he's worth your $100 or $200, why not???
I got a couple of friends who complained to me that they got $2 of red packets for their wedding dinner and there's no name on it.
I gave $168 for one of my good friends' wedding coz they are really very nice people. And another only a $20 coz I'm not very pleased with his wedding even thro he's quite nice and he earns quite alot every month.
