CASH or GIFT?

[antisocial]

Presence is enough. But if pipilitin Cash!

- Wala po kaming kotse, pahihirapan nyo po kami sa pag-uwi namin galing sa reception. Wala po kami paglalagyan.

- Kumpleto napo kami sa appliances. Pero I won't mind a new tablet, psp or gadget. Madaling ibulsa.

^hahaha sir natawa naman ako sa comment mo. I prefer cash magmimigrate kami at ayaw namin mag bitbit ng regalo  papunta sa ibang lugar please. Kung maggift kayo yung madaling bitbitin lang yung maliit hahaha baka magbayad pa kami ng excess baggage 

[^gabrielle^]

Cash nalang para d na mahirapan.
If magdadala ng gift para lang masabing nagdala ng regalo, ay wag nalang. (Taray!)

Yay finished na! Update lang ako. We received about less than 10 gifts! Sobrang love namin lahat! We got super awesome pillows, a hardcore cutlery set, some baking stuff (kasama sa wishlist!), a rice cooker (classic, may feeling kami if you don't receive at least one of this, baka malas hahaha!), bedsheets (awesome too kasi we don't really want to go out and shop for this na), preorders of the expansion of the game we both love and we've been waiting for (yaaay! nasa wishlist din!), and the rest cash gifts na

mga sis! pano kung mayaman na yung ikakasal? ano binibigay nyong gift? parang nakakahiya magbigay ng cash.. hahaha!

anyway, normally magkano ba binibigay? ok na ba yung 2K? narinig ko dati sa matatanda dapat daw may butal.. kunwari, 1,800, o kaya 2,400.. basta may butal.. di ko lam kung bakit?

[newstyle]

Natatawa ako sa mga comments niyo dito sissies. Sa akin their presence is enough na but they insisted so we said cash na lang. yung mga nagdala ng gifts, inihabilin namin sa parents. di namin madadala kasi sa ibang bansa naman kami. hehe

Hi mga peeps, share ko lang :-) about monetary gifts. Dito sa Singapore if you attend a Chinese wedding wala talaga nag bibigay ng gifts other than monetary and nakakatawa man there is even a website na nakalagay na guideline on how much you are supposed to give based on the hotel saan i held yung reception. Then dun sa registration table may drop box dun mo hulog yung Ang Pao :-)

[j.adore]

Sis IronLady, di ko alam yung sa butal pero kung monetary gift, silent rule ay equal to or greater than per head cost ng reception.

Pag mayaman na yung couple, wala bang gift registry? Hehe
Pwede din yung something unique, nasa interests nila, o yung gawa mo especially for them.

Sis Chuchubells, naka-attend na ako sa China at monetary gifts lang talaga sila. May minimum amount per person at tumataas yung expected amount depende kung gaano ka ka-close sa ikakasal. Mas close, mas mataas amount!

[rae]

^^ nakapanood ako ng casual documentary ng korean wedding. May ganun ding guideline. May range of amount depending on the level of your closeness to the couple. Kapag acquaintance lang kayo or not very close friends, hindi pwedeng malaki ang ibigay

hello! i've heard of this similar practice from a friend who works in vietnam. pag mas mahal and mas sosyal reception place, the higher dapat ang cash gift  buti na lang, it's not a practice here though i would prefer to receive cash. and pag invited, i appreciate it that the couple writes sa invite that they prefer cash too

[IronLady]

ay may ganung silent rule.. greater than or equal sa per head cost sa reception.. no idea pa naman.. pero kung ganun ang ie-estimate ko parang ok na ang 1k.. haha! kung reception lang/food ang ita-take into account..

hehe, mas mura kasi talaga kung magbibigay ka ng gift kesa cash e.. walang gift registry o wish list yung friend ko na ikakasal.. mayaman na kasi sila.. kaya nga hirap tuloy magisip.. 

 

[IronLady]

pwede na ba yung 2K mga sis? iniisip ko pa kung spa gift checks na lang o cash..

so far ang alam kong pwede igift na gamit e kitchenwares, pillows, bedsheets... no idea kasi kung may sarili silang bahay na o bibili pa lang..

[pretinnes]

I prefer cash pero kahit presence  nila okay na. Afterall, di naman ako nagpakasal para kumita ng pera

[IronLady]

i like sis!^

Hi!

Just married.


Well, we put this in our invites since both of us are going abroad.

With all that we have, weve been blessed,
Your presence and and prayers are all that we request,
But if you desire to give nonetheless,
Monetary gift is one we suggest.

[j.adore]

Did you still receive tangible gifts sis maldita.anne?

[i_am_zayda]

based sa mga nababasa ko na wedding etiquette, it is not appropriate daw to put in the invitation na No Boxed gifts (or something to that effect), or yung mga gift registry.

Ang sa akin naman, what the heck? mas okay na alam ng guests kung ano ang preferred ng couple kesa naman sa ilang plantsa, ricecooker, plato, kutsara at kung ano-ano pa... mas makakatulong ang cash lalo na sa pagsstart ng family...

kaya ako I will opt to put something of a poem to inform them that we prefer cash... pero hindi naman maiiwasan na may magdala pa din ng gifts pero at least ma-miminimize yung pagkakapare-pareho ng mga gifts...

[Coffee_lover]

Dahil lahat ng ininvite ko mga kamag anak at friends ko, di ako nahiya na sabihin sa kanila na mas prefer namin makareceive ng cash.. Wish granted naman, kasi 3 gifts lang ang nareceive namin, the rest puro cash na... So hindi ako nahirapan magdala pauwi from reception. To think na may dala pa kami gown and yung gamit namin before the wedding and mga accessories pa.  Nagkasya lahat sa isang taxi.
