How much should you give in your wedding ang baos? Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the cost-per-guest of weddings, based on venue and timing.
There’s a famous quote by John Green that was meant to compare the way one falls asleep to the intoxicating act of falling in love — “slowly, and then all at once”. Strangely enough, the very same phrase seems to coincide with wedding invites. Don’t get me wrong, I adore weddings! I think they are beautiful gestures of love and I remember the excitement I felt when I received my very first wedding dinner invite earlier on in my twenties. However, brush all that novelty aside and you’ll find the anxiety and dread of rising wedding banquet costs. Even as I approach the big three-zero, I have friends who, up to this day, worry if they’ve given enough in their red packet. Thus, in this guide, we’ll be striving to remove all doubt with an updated guide on wedding ang bao rates for 2023, so you can hopefully, enjoy the next banquet and truly celebrate the happy couple.
