When my younger sister gets married, how much gift money should I give as a brother or sister?
QuestionerQuestioner:2013-06-25 12:37:39
My sister is getting married this year, and the whole family is busy preparing her dowry. I have been working for a few years and have some savings. I am a man and I don't know how much gift money is appropriate. Please give me some advice if you know. Thank you.

Since it is your sister's wedding, then the gifts from the brothers and sisters are inevitable. But no matter how much the gift money is, you must do it within your means. You can't let the gift money become a burden. Moreover, the gift money can't show your feelings. I suggest that you should prepare a wedding gift to show your feelings while giving an appropriate gift money to your sister's wedding:


1. Choose a wedding gift with blessing meaning

The best gift for the newlyweds must be blessing. Good blessings are very popular with everyone. I suggest giving some gifts with good meanings, such as peacocks, swans and other ornaments, which are all symbols of the longevity and beauty of love.

3. Choose practical wedding gifts for the new home

My sister will definitely move into a new house when she gets married, so some daily necessities will be very good, such as a toiletry set or household daily necessities with festive meanings.

  • The minimum gift money cannot be less than 100. For a sister, it cannot be less than 1000. You can also give more according to your own situation, but it should be less than the elders, which is also a respect for the elders.

  • Actually, it doesn’t matter how much gift money you give, as long as you have a heart. If you are a sister, you can make a cross-stitch ornament by yourself, which is also very classy when framed, and then give a red envelope. If you are a brother, you don’t know how to choose gifts, so just give a big red envelope. No matter how much you give, it means your heart, and your sister will not dislike it.

  • Usually the amount given is between 5000 and 8000. Giving 8888 to your sister is very good and auspicious. Alternatively, you can discuss with your parents to see how much they will give, and then you can give less than them based on what they give. After all, the customs are different in every place.
