Spring Festival wedding tide, the old family friend's wedding, how much red packet appropriate?

How much the red envelope package is really no hard and fast rule, this custom of each place is still different. But if you really annoyed do not know how much to pack, you can look at the following aspects.

First, according to your local customs.

Generally speaking, every place has its own unwritten rules about how much to pack in a red envelope. For example, we here, ordinary friends pack three or five hundred, if you want to be better, you can pack eight hundred. Almost everyone is with this gift, then you also follow the package on the line. This will not be too abrupt, nor will it appear that you are cheap.

In the wedding this kind of happy event, unless you and the feelings of the newcomer is particularly good, then you can highlight some, otherwise it is almost as good as everyone else.

Secondly, it depends on how much other friends pack.

Since they are friends from the old country, you will not be the only one invited. You can ask your other friends how much they are paying, and then you can go along with them. If the other friends all pack 500, you pack a 300, you may also be embarrassed to take out the hand. But if the other friends all pack 300, you pack 800, then it seems to look like you are particularly generous, and everyone will be counting on you to treat them next time.

Some places, in particular, don't give red envelopes, but hand them over directly at the entrance. Not only is there no privacy, but the amount is shouted out loud. For example, the guest of honor XXX, congratulatory gift 800. so, whether the bag is too much or too little, it is embarrassing.

Third, according to the amount of money you married before the other party to accompany the gift.

If you have already been married, then it is relatively simple. If you get married, the other party package to you 500, then you can also directly package back 500. if you get married is in a good years money, now consider the price rise, then you can be a few hundred more, such as package a 800, so it is very reasonable.
