Tigershark1976 Turbocharged October 20, 2011 Share October 20, 2011 (edited) think I must say that I have no choice but to ignore .... otherwise, my wallet is going to sucked dry every month except the chinese 7th month.. think most of the mid 30's members here like me will agree.... at this age range, you tend to receive more wedding invitation card than you are in 20's cause most friends, campmates. school mates & etc around is getting marry around this age..

If the couple die-die want face and go to high class hotel, then they must understand that there might be a price to pay. Chinese saying if your head not so big, don't wear so big hat. The whole point of throwing the dinner is to invite and pay for the guests to let them share the newly wed's joy. Guests would bring a gift as a token and blessing for the coupe. Somehow this has de-generated into a social farce we know as wedding dinner today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow this has de-generated into a social farce we know as wedding dinner today. This I totally agree, unfortunately a wedding which is suppose to celebrate an union of two parties has really become a farce of who's on your invite list, are your bosses coming and even better if the CEO of your rival company comes, then goes down to the hotel and the wedding car, etc etc...I wonder if I just secretly rom and have a family lunch at the summer pavilion will it be acceptable to any decent sg gal...the worse part is the higher you climb then more expectations people have of you, and the more gossip you will invite if you have a low profile affair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who recently got married in Marina Mandrian... most of his ang bao are only $100-$120... except for close friends and relatives... hi-bye accquaintences, $100 This is the truth. Because the couple invite a lot of hi-bye friends. What's the point? After all the troubles and hassles, some might even end up....! Not as if their parents are 有头有脸 businessman or influential people, what the face they are talking about? Locals 太爱充胖子了。When we say THROWING a banquet, THROWING a dinner, the meaning is giving.
