Culturally, its a given that we give red packets at a wedding with money in it.

In fact most of the bride/grooms parents even write down who gave what so they can give the same when they are invited to their friends kids weddings.

Chinese weddings usually are huge because parents invite their friends as tradition.

Luckily for my wedding i put my foot down to have a small wedding of only 200 people and that i knew everyone there.

No wishing well mentioned, the asians gave money (which is around $100 pp)

And my non chinese friends gave gifts.

All in all we were just happy people were there and had fun.
Wow! 200 people!

Can I be super rude (and I will understand if you don't answer), but how much money did you receive? And how much did your wedding cost?

It is a really rude question
