    Piece of advise. If you yourselves are paying for your wedding, YOUR WEDDING, YOUR RULES! Parents will want to kaypoh add in this and that and invite people they want and disregard people you want to invite. They want to order ridiculously more food etc. And then blew your budget. Yes im referring to malay weddings. Be prepared. Been there done that.

    20k - 30k seems the average. ouch. i rather spend that on travel. mine was about $2000 as we just reserved 40 seats at a hotel buffet. we only invited close relatives and the buffet was perfect as people could eat whatever cuisine they wanted.

    50k can get you a comfortable Europe tour or a modest renovation of your BTO. Spending it on one night is really dumb financial decision.

    Wedding banquets cost at least 2k per table these days, 20 tables thats 40k. wedding photographer? wedding gown rental? engagement rings? Weddings are easily 50k these days. i dont think this video gives a good guage of the cost of weddings in Singapore. but the general message is right, spend within your means!

    The most unexpected cost in the wedding is the pinjin, guodali, and the photo/videographer

    @janemuses3031 8 месяцев назад +3

    Well with the going rate of $300 average per ang pow from guests according to Ghib Obisan's vlog, the guy who had 60 tables with 5 pax would still recoup back cost of his wedding (assume 4 people to a family).

    This is a very down to earth wedding budget. Give me an idea we can do it under $30,000 and use the money for down payment & honeymoon.

    Weddings are so boomer. You pay so much to show others. New generation weddings go overseas and do not host it

    Sorry, I don't understand why some of these Chinese couples are hoping to receive red packet money from their guests to fund their wedding. If the married couple cannot afford to pay for the food for their guests, they shouldn't be marrying in the first place. I truly detest the "transactional" approach of the toxic Chinese culture.

    Not surprising if you are invited to weddings, and the host will hint the amount of the cost of 1 banquet table 😅
    Hint: give more angbao $ to break even or cover the cost 😂
