How much to give colleague for wedding?
-
I got my 1st wedding bomb from a colleague whom I am not close to, and honestly speaking, don't even really like. The wedding will be somewhere in malaysia. Please advise how much I should give. Another m'sian colleague said typically, 50 Ringit is enough.
By the way, I won't be going to her wedding. FYI, it's only a lunch buffet. Don't want to give too much because I don't even like her (she's quite bitchy to me, and still wants to make money from me... hmmm....I think the feeling of dislike is pretty mutual). I don't want to give too little to look cheap too. -
then that day u say u sick dont go at all lor.
-
it depends on where is the dinner normally. posh restaurant then give more to help them cover cost but if it's just a lunch buffet, 50 rigget is more than enough lah.
-
i think 50 ringgit is good enuf
-
hmm... on the same note, how much would you give for a buffet dinner at Orchid Country Club?
-
depend on closeness lor:
not very close
dun turn up
abit close $50
very close $100
''EXTREMELY" close (ur ex) hell notes -
Hmm... how about just newspaper???
-

Doesn't matter how much you give. Just make sure you give her back the bomb when you get married as soon as possible so that interest will not be lost.Originally posted by foxwalk:I got my 1st wedding bomb from a colleague whom I am not close to, and honestly speaking, don't even really like.

Don't like then don't go. Don't go then don't need to spend money. Why spend money on something you don't like?
-
i dont like to spend money on things i dont like.. and thats me.. my opinion.. sharing it with you..

Then go but dun give. Eat for free. They won't know whether you give or not, cuz some ang pao got no name written.Originally posted by foxwalk:I got my 1st wedding bomb from a colleague whom I am not close to, and honestly speaking, don't even really like.

Excellent. This won't make you look cheap. Just makes you look like a freeloader.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Then go but dun give. Eat for free. They won't know whether you give or not, cuz some ang pao got no name written. -
Not freeloader lah, travel to Malaysia still must incur transportation cost.Originally posted by ditzy:Excellent. This won't make you look cheap. Just makes you look like a freeloader.
Unless of course after eating the dinner without giving an ang pow, you still have the audacity to ask her to reimburse you for the petrol cost.
Free dinner with no cost at all.
That's called a freeloader. -
Oh, ok. How about opening doors? If someone opens it to get in and you breeze thru, are you a freeloader?Originally posted by charlize:Not freeloader lah, travel to Malaysia still must incur transportation cost.
