SMH: Increasing number of marrying couples asking for cash rather than gifts from their guests in their wedding reception. Sounds like what Chinese has been doing for many centuries :) I myself don’t quite get the idea of gifts — most of the time the perceived value is less than the cost, so might as well give cash (or gift vouchers). Or maybe it is just me.

Do you have any advice about the amount of money that, say, a great aunt and uncle would likely give to their neice’s wedding wishing well?
