Wedding Gift: How much?

[bondgirl]

well kung ganun, give them something meaningful na lang... parang ang panget naman ata kung naka envelope pa tapos 500 lang ang laman hehe...

GC pang spa for two or kung may kakilala ka who owns a vacation club ownership, baka pwedeng hiramin yung discount rates para sa accommodations hehe

Magbibigay sana ako ng mas malaki kaso ang laki ng ginastos ko sa gas (P1,000) at napabili ako ng bagong batterya ng kotse (P3,000). Nagpatahi pa ako ng bagong pants and shirt dahil kinuha pa akong lector.

nalala ko nung kasal ko may kaibigan akong na di na ko binigyan ng regalo. -------- kasi siya sumagot ng stag party. the best gift i got hehe

Kainis nga eh. Mas maganda yung dating gawi, magpapagift wrap ka lang ng malaking Orocan na rice dispenser/dish drainer sabay iwan mo na lang doon sa mga regalo.

Pag super close na friend or relative, cordless phone nireregalo ko. Almost no one considers giving cordless phones as a gift. And it's usually the most remembered.

[bondgirl]

then, why not give them a cordless phone?

How much do you give if you're only a wedding guest, but a friend of either the bride/groom?

Nung kinasal ang parents ko, ang wala silang nakuhang regalo eh Kalan, kaya wala silang Kalan, so everytime na kinukuha silang Ninong at Ninang, Kalan ang nireregalo nila, then naging microwave, ranging from 3,000-4,000, kung hindi nila ka close.

Kapag ka close nila 6,000 na cash na lang ang binibigay, mas malaking tulong daw yun sa mag asawa, kapag relatives, 10,000.

Kapag umaattend naman kami ng mga kasal, dahil uso na ang bridal registry, pumipili kami talaga doon, kapag hindi naman ka close, yung pinaka mura sa listahan siyempre, kapag ka close naman at relatives, siyempre yung nasa gitnang presyo.

Naalala ko nung kinasal ang pinsan kong lalaki sa isang heredera, yung mga nasa bridal registry ang pinaka mura eh 8,000, sabi ko "wow, ang mamahal naman", binilhan ko nga ng mumurahing microwave, lech!

There is no certain amount naman talaga. But if you are a principal sponsor, it is expected na malaki ang ibibigay mo.

A funny thing happened at my brother's wedding. One of the principal sponsors (an aunt ng sis in law ko from the States), gave P50 lang. So when we opened the envelope, akala namin meron pang laman sa loob but wala na talaga. It was just the P50. Pero kung makasalita, ang yabang. Oh well.

Sa wedding ko naman, the principal sponsors' gifts ranged from P5k - P80k. Yun nagbigay ng 80k is my uncle who is a father figure to me and my brothers. Some gave dollars (since we also had guests from the US) that ranged $200 - $1,000. Sa mga guests naman, it ranged from P20 (my daughter gave some of her savings from her baon ) to P5,000.

It boils down naman talaga to how much you can afford. Most often, it comes in gift checks from banks para hindi bulky in the envelopes.
