Hi,

Anyone can advised me how much red packet to give to my colleague if I am unable to attend his son's wedding?

It is the range from $60-$80 or lesser?

Thank you.

i think $50 will be enough... some of my colleagues even told me no need give at all, UNLESS at first you promise to go (they sent u invitation card and reserve seat for u), but last min u cant attend, then u got to give the full amount... tat's what i heard lah

have you informed them you are not going in advance? I think $50 is substantial after all you are colleagues. Sometimes, regard this money as 'under-table' money whereby you need something in return concerning work scope.

$50 to $80 if not going ...
He formally give u a invitation card ?
