How much money should be given as a share? What is a good number to give?

Getting married has always been something that people attach great importance to, and giving gifts is also a very important part of the wedding. No one will go to a wedding empty-handed, and there are many things to pay attention to when giving gifts. So how much money do you usually give as a share?

How much is the share money usually given?

▶Ordinary relationships <br/>Ordinary friends, common friends, acquaintances and other people with average relationships usually don’t give too much money, but they won’t give less than the market price either, which would be a bit unreasonable. Maybe they will meet each other every day, so the etiquette should not be too inaccurate. Generally speaking, the contribution money is around two hundred to five hundred yuan, depending on the local consumption level.
▶Close relationships <br/>For very good friends, it goes without saying that they will usually choose auspicious numbers for the red envelopes, such as 600, 666, 800, 888, etc. Of course, everyone knows it tacitly: no matter how much you give to a good friend at his wedding, he will usually give you gifts in return when you hold your own wedding. However, the relationship is different. The contribution from good friends is generally more than that from ordinary friends.
