Standard-Reciprocity: one person /500, two people /800, one family/1000.
In terms of segmentation:
(1) Ordinary colleagues and friends: 200 yuan -300 yuan is moderate. If you have a better relationship, add more. Colleagues can also piece together a lucky number and wrap a "big" red envelope.
(2) Open-crotch pants friends and girlfriends: no less than 600 yuan. Whether the number will rise again depends on your wallet.
(3) Family members: 1000 yuan or more. The relationship is particularly close, and the elders in the family have a good friendship or even tens of thousands. This is not a certain thing.
Reminder: As the old saying goes, courtesy is reciprocated. If someone else has come to your wedding reception before, the amount of the gift money is usually not less than the amount of the gift money received.
2. Pay attention to the number of gift money (1) to please the lottery players as much as possible, preferably in pairs, and 666 and 888 are the best. "Three" homophonic "San". Birthday wedding taboo, birthday gift is also taboo. "Four" is homophonic with "death", and this number should not be used for wedding gifts. The homonym of "five" is "nothing", which is taboo in some places, and there is a saying that "there is no child or daughter".
In some places, women are afraid of the number "seven", which stems from the fact that ancient women will be punished if they commit seven deadly sins. Also note that in some places "8" is not used for marriage, because it is two "4".
(2) bridesmaids and groomsmen generally don't need gifts. A good sister or a good buddy can just buy a wedding present.
3. When is the gift money usually there will be a sign-in desk at the entrance of the banquet hall of the wedding banquet, where the guests who come to congratulate will pay the gift money and leave their names. But if you don't sign in, or miss the sign-in, you'll have to find a chance for the new person yourself. Usually, before the official start of the wedding, when the new couple welcomes guests, or in the second half of the wedding, when the new couple toasts, it is more appropriate to send gifts while congratulating the new couple. If you don't have to, I suggest you give the gift money to the couple yourself and try not to let others transfer it. First, it seems that your sincerity is not enough. Second, if there are mistakes, you can't explain them clearly. Of course, try not to give gifts to others.
Special reminder: now everyone will put a small red envelope for the gift, but don't forget to write some greetings and your name on the back of the red envelope, so as not to forget who sent it after the couple is busy.
