Wedding gifts are usually sealed by guests with wedding red envelopes and given to the newlyweds on the wedding day to express their congratulations on their marriage. If it can't be delivered to the couple in person, many people will choose to invite familiar friends to give it to the couple. There is another way now, that is, to send the wedding money to the couple through WeChat, which is what we call the WeChat wedding red envelope.

How much is appropriate for marriage?

1. If a wedding reception is held in a hotel, there are usually people who receive red envelopes at the door. Put the gift money in a red envelope (there is a special red envelope for the gift money) and write your name. The person who receives the gift will write down your name. You don't have to write your name on the red envelope.

2. If classmates, friends and colleagues get married, there is no need to consider too many customs and so on. Generally speaking, they are close and distant, according to their own economic situation. Those who are still studying can generally give money between 100-400, that's all, don't pay too much attention. If you are working, you may give more than 400,500,600,800, 1000. Of course, if it is 200, the other party will skip 300 times to 400 in the future. Give 500, and the other party may return 600 later; Give 600, the other party will skip 700, and if it takes a long time, it will directly return to 800; Give 1200, skip 1300 and return directly to 1400.

3. If relatives get married, look at the relationship first, and then send it according to local customs. Fengcheng now likes to send these numbers 200,400,600,800, 1000. The man's brothers and sisters may send more, generally above 2000, and more will choose numbers between 4000 and 8000. It should be noted that there may be many close relatives (such as several uncles and aunts), and there may be a comparison between them, so everyone will discuss it before giving gifts and then give the same number. Unless the family background is very different and the gifts will be different, it is easy to attract attention.

Marriage and money background

Ancient times: The custom of giving money was not popular in ancient times. People used to give things to new people.

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, giving money became a necessary item for the upper class to hold happy events. Especially the Manchu Eight Banners, in order to show their identity, they pay more attention to the etiquette of sending money. Mr. Lao She's novel Under the Red Flag describes the troubles at home in order to collect money.

Early liberation: sending money was not popular for a long time. Getting married in the 1950s and 1960s was particularly simple.

During the "Cultural Revolution" period, no money was given, but relatives and friends would send insulation pots, washbasins and other daily necessities.

After the reform and opening up, people also have spare money in their hands. With the concept of commodity economy deeply rooted in people's hearts, sending money directly has been accepted by the whole society, and sending money has become a way to bless new people.

What's so particular about wedding money?

This thankless thing really makes people all over the world find it difficult to follow the ceremony. Faced with the "red bomb", the British value "face" more than "pocket". According to statistics, the average cost of a wedding in Britain is 440 pounds (about 4,000 yuan), which is roughly equivalent to a week's salary. Three quarters of the money is spent on dressing up, and only 100 is a gift for the newlyweds. However, according to the average of five weddings a year, the salary equivalent to more than one month is wasted.

In Korea, spring and autumn are the peak of "following the children" every year. According to a report by Korean media in April, a survey shows that Koreans will give an average of 60,000 won (about RMB 330 yuan) as wedding gifts, and the number of people with good relationships has risen to 6,543,800+10,000. Nearly 70% of Koreans think that giving wedding gifts is a burden.

Strict and pragmatic Germans are willing to directly convert the gift money into physical objects. Couples will find a favorite department store a few months before the wedding to choose the items needed for the wedding, then draw up a list, indicate the price and give them to relatives and friends as gifts.

Considering the economic depression, some young people in Britain have put forward a simplified method of "following the crowd". Michaels, a British boy, said, "My friend will open an account, and all guests can voluntarily save some money as a honeymoon fund."

In Pakistan, which also attaches great importance to weddings, community member Nazish Brosi said that "there are some social expectations and pressures at work on the habit of giving wedding gifts. We occasionally hear news that someone is in financial trouble. "
