 Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:08 am Post subject: Proper Wedding Gifts for Malaysian customs? |
 |
|
Usually my friends/coworkers will buy the gift sets together in groups then we'll split the cost - usually the gift sets are either kitchenwares (silvewares,plates,teaset) so about RM50-150 per person depends on the occasion & person.Often I've wondered what's the proper procedure if I choose not to buy wedding gifts like that. Because sometimes I felt it's personally not suitable for the bride/groom (coz. I know their backgrounds/attitude) or the cost are just too much for certain items.I've been to some Chinese weddings where - just the money packet (ang pau)/gift of money with RM50-RM100 is given.Another time, I designed an interactive photo album for a Christian couple.Often Hindu weddings, they told me not to bring anything but myself. So I wondered, is it appropriate to give money packet to weddings for other race e.g. Malay, Indian & etc.Feel free to drop in some wedding gifts ideas are most welcome.And =D what's your ideal wedding gift, pls. don't suggest over the top ideas or cut throat price gifts @_@Wei frog  It's good to question whn in doubt so I don't hv to bcm crazy & skip around in my pants only :PJAP: Huh a book? Trust me most of them DO NOT EVEN read books unless for work related oh yeah unless it's gadget magazines, p0rnz for guys & ladies mags. for gals. Besides for their bday I've already gotten for them books. |

| Never understand what should I give to my friends and dont really want to understand this. Why we need to think the proper gifts for any ocassion, as most of the decision is ours. Agree to certain points but be rational is more than just enough. Normally, i'll give them what I like most,regardless the ocassions. For wedding, all my chinese,malay, indian friends will get a special book that is for sure low price but definitely worth to have it. People will forget you who are you but will never forget you what you have 'touch' them. Life is made simple. Hope this helps! |

| in singapore, we give red packet in which inside it, we will put in $50 to $100 SG dollars depending on where the hotel ballroom or chinese restaurant location is for the wedding banquet to be held....if that person is not attending the wedding dinner, he/she has to give at least $40 red packet beforehand to the bride/bridegroom....this is only applicable to the wedding dinner......if it is a christian, malay or a chinese wedding held in the afternoon, a gift would be appropriate or a $40 to $60 red packet will do the 'talking'. |

| Normally, when i dont have enough time to scout around for presents, i would just give them angpow with RM100 note instead..but then, its really depends on who that person is..if he/she is your best friend then i would normally get them a 3 day 2 nights stay package somewhere exotic! As far that i'm concern that Chinese would only give angpows and some might also bring along presents while Hindus prefer you to just come and celebrate the wedding together with big family feast without bringing anything but to me, i insist to give the newly-wed present like bedding set together with angpow..anyway, its all come from your sincerity of giving..nothing that would not be appropriate..good luck!! |

| Money packet (ang pau) is the most piratical and helpful gift, for us early to carry and don't crack our head what to buy, and also maybe will help the wedding couple to ease their financial burden. |
