Should friends give money to the engaged couple? When is the right time to give money?

When attending a wedding, everyone must give money as a gift. It is not only a token of thought, but also represents a blessing to the newlyweds. So do engaged friends have to give a gift of money?

Do friends who are engaged need to give money as gifts?

There is no need to give money for engagement. Usually, engagement is only told to individual immediate family members and close friends, just as a witness. Money for gifts is usually given at the formal wedding banquet.

In some areas, the man will organize an engagement ceremony, but the elders in the family will accept gifts, and the groom will not accept gifts. This is because in some areas, it is customary to hold an engagement banquet. If they are very good friends and the man can give a small red envelope to congratulate them, but the woman does not need to do so. The woman's family itself does not organize it, but just lets everyone know that she is getting married.

When is the right time to give the share money?

1. When attending a wedding, there is usually a sign-in area when you enter the door. You just write your name on the red envelope and sign in. Some people will arrange the names and seats at the door when they hold a wedding. It is very streamlined, quick and convenient.

2. The bride and groom stand at the door to welcome the guests, say hello and say happy wedding. If you are a friend of the groom, give it to the groom; if you are a friend of the bride, give it to the bride. Don't give it directly to the maid of honor or best man.

3. If you are a friend of the newlyweds’ parents, just give it to them openly and congratulate them. It is recommended to give it to the newlyweds when they enter. If you arrive late and the ceremony starts, give it when they toast. Everyone put red envelopes on the table, and the groom took one after every drink.

4. If you have a good relationship with the person, just give it in advance. If you have an average relationship with the person, you can give it when you enter the hotel. Remember to write your name on the red envelope.

5. Follow others and give money when they give it to you. If you have a close relationship with them, you can give it directly to the person concerned.

6. If it is not absolutely necessary, it is recommended to hand the gift money to the newlyweds personally, and try not to let others transfer it on your behalf. First, it seems that you are not sincere enough, and second, if there is any mistake, you will not be able to explain it clearly. Of course, try not to transfer gift money on behalf of others.
