If u on budget, don't need to attend every ceremonial events unless u are the close relative, best man or best woman.
Just indicate early to yr teacher which of the events u will go so that he/she can plan ahead the amount of catering he/she needs to order. It is more impt to indicate yr intention early than to force yrself to come up with an ideal solution.Planning is the biggest headache for them.
Just indicate to him/her that u will or will not go to the dinner and just pay for the dinner alone if u choose to go. -
thats the part that sux....weddings receptions and dinners are but mere commercial exchanges. If per head at this restaurant is estimated to be at this price, then we better give an ang pao to that amount.
What happened to giving it straight from the heart......

You have not made clear. Your teacher is a Chinese or non Chinese.
For Chinese, the dinner is the Thing, Chirstian or non Christian. -

I still don't believe that a tea reception is 60 per head. Dinner 60 per head, I believe.
Since it is a Church tea reception, it is easier. It is not a former invitation and therefore u need not consider carefully the feeling of the other party. But I think more imptly to indicate early if go or don't go.What I can give is only advice. What u should do or should not do is up to u.
-
tea reception can be S$60 per head, since it's a wedding theme.
and depends on wat they serve. -
come think of it ......possible since reddevil is invited for the tea reception and not the dinner. Wedding catering to diff crowds......

It's 60 bucks per pax. The dinner cost 1.5k per table which i was not invited for cause not that close.
I confirm will be going, it now depends on whether to give a present or give cash

I think... you should buy a gift?
It's not right for the couple being wedded to expect their guests to cough up enough ang pow money to cover the costs of their wedding celebration, so I hope that's not what your former teacher is expecting. Since a small ang pow would not look presentable, I feel that a well-picked gift would be more suitable instead.
Besides, if it's a tea reception... I never come across tea reception also give ang pow one leh. Not like I've attended enough tea receptions to know but to me it's not a practice I would call "usual". :x

Although it may seem rude to turn down your teacher's offer, but if you and your friends are truly unable to take out that amount of cash, mainly due to the fact that none of you are working, then you might want to sincerely apologise to your teacher, and buy a wedding gift for her with your friends instead.
Cheers.

Oh, nono. we will surely be going. We just can't decide whether should give present or cash. but cash we wouldn't want to give 60 bucks to cover the cost of the catering also even if we are able to, cause after all we r still students.
but actually, lets assume we dunno the price of the catering, cause tt 1 is i ask ask around then know the cost of the catering.
