don't guys usually get taken to the cleaners with a divorce settlement, or are they just happy to be out of the marriage and don't care?

I got married back in September this year so below is my experience and thought process from the other side (not as a guest.) Take my thoughts with a grain of salt and consider the context below. Be prepared that this is a long read but I want to genuinely share this for those of you who are genuinely curious.

Spoiler!


TL;DR: Minimum $100 - $120. If the thought of getting a gift or giving a monetary gift bothers you, decline the invitation. Personally, I don't give material gifts beacuse let's be real. Nothing beats cold, hard cash.

Do people not give gifts instead of cash money's?

I got a wedding coming up in May in Japan, japanese couple, my friend who is getting married, he was saying it's acustom to give the couple 500$ in Japanese culture.

I was sort of baffled (I don't go to weddings normally, haven't been to one in 10+ years) considering I'm shelling out 3k for flights, stay, etc

I guess the 500$ covers your liquor, events, plus the gift to the couple etc

The fact you preface your divorce comment with, "I love my wife, but..." fkn cracks me up.

If I got divorced, I don't know if I could get married again.

I totally agree that marriage isn’t for everybody. I remember the first 4-5 weddings I attended as a young adult all ended up in divorce.

With that said, I challenge your simplistic viewpoint on weddings. Happiest day for the bride?. What about those bridezillas? Super stressful. What about a guy marrying a wealthy girl? Happiest day for the guy instead?

If we could ditch tradition, my wife and I wouldn’t have had a “fancy” wedding. We got away with getting married in a civil ceremony with immediate family only, then dinner reception with friends and family a few months later.

Anyone taking bets?

When I got married, friends all bet on how long the marriage would last. One, by one, by ten, they all filed for divorces. Wife said to me once, "We showed them, didn't we?" Till death do we part," took on a whole new meaning..............



On a side note, congratulations, dukes. Treat her like gold plated latinum. And, if you ever have kids, teach them well.

That depends - white wedding? Gift. Asian? Money. My ballpark is 100-150 per person if we don't know them that well, 200 if we knew them well/were super close friends with them.

What bcrdukes said - weddings are expensive as fuck now, especially Asian banquets. My wedding budget was in the 40K range once you figure on photographer, gifts, venue, banquet etc - and that was with us being as frugal as possible on other expenses like flowers, suits/dresses etc. We had 230 guests planned, and if we broke even, that was fine, and if we didn't that was fine either. We got "lucky" with Covid and didn't have to host a reception, and sunk the budget into buying a place/getting a new car lmao.

I pretty much try to ball park how much the couple is paying per head for the dinner and give enough to cover the cost, usually its about $150 - $200. Depending on how close I am with them, I'll give them more

For reference, my banquet that I had at kirin this year, the lowest menu we could choose from was starting at 1k and that menu didn't have the usual asian parent flexing dishes. had to move up a couple of teirs inorder to get those dishes.

my wedding budget was thrown out the window. covid made a lot of things expensive. pretty much ended up spending about 20k more compared to 2020 prices for photographer, venue, and banquet. biggest hit was the food cost.

weddings are hella expensive, i don't expect to even coming close to getting half back at my dinner. everyone just enjoyed the huge party we had after being stuck inside for so long for coivd and that was all it mattered for my wife and I. Getting to see everyone after 2 years and everyone having fun.

I wish this thread existed a few months ago, which I asked a few of you here. I think I ended up giving $300 (or $500) don't remember.

It was for a pretty good buddy. He had a very nice wedding at Hycroft Manor and the banquet was at Sun Sui Wah. While I wasn't part of the wedding party, since that was my entire friend group (for this set of friends), my friend made accomodations to have me tag along on their adventures. Plus he sat me with the cute single girls + our friends dates so it was a lot of fun.

I was pretty much liquored up since 12pm lmao. No shortage of alcohol as well. Party Bus - Casa Blanca, Banquet was Moet Nectar Imperial Rose Limited Edition, Hennessy (BC viet family) and Calirosa Rosa Blanco. Sun Sui Wah also provided alcohol, idk what it was but we drank it lol.

Solid dance floor and partying with friends + strangers.

Depending on the friend and how Asian they are, you may want to give more than $100 to give face lol. It's not a simple dry cut answer unfortunately.

I think in this case, by the way you described it and how close you were, $300-500 was appropriate.

BIC_BAWS, given your generosity and that we've only met once at a Stock & Noob meet, I'm hosting a Toronto-based reception this weekend. You are cordially invited.

If you can't make it, come down to Los Angeles during their Thanksgiving weekend for our LA-based reception. Please note the currency.

Love the idea of paying more for the Asian “banquet” style weddings to pay for that complete trash food lol

In termss of giving gifts Vs cash, I think it really depends on the situation of the couple. When my wife and I got married we had already been living together for about 4 years, we like nice shit so we already had nice appliances, high end cookware, etc.

We setup a registry for people with the old-school mentality of getting a gift and it was mostly just frivolous BS like a fancy bar set etc. we did end up getting some nice stuff and some nice wine glasses, snifters etc. but the one item we kind of made a point to say, if you’re gonna buy a frying pan, BUY THIS ONE, to match our set. Of course the person bought a slightly cheaper, different branded one and we instantly returned it and it became a big headache to exchange it, use the gift card etc.

Waiting for my invite!

I've been married before and made a healthy profit off my wedding doing a lot of stuff myself... but I think those days are over based on what I know people are paying nowadays unless someone's rich business friends feel like making a big splash to show off lol
