umm, i’m not into money at all or anything, but just to have an estimate in order to budget, i was wondering if u guys know how much a couple receives approx. as gifts (cash) on both their wedding(250 ppl approx) and walima (400 ppl) combined?
Re: money
lol it so much varies acc 2 the people who u invite..i mean some can afford only a thousand ruppess where as some give 5000 and some even more....so it depends!!!
Re: money
yup it demands on the people u invite.. mostly duur ke jan pechan wud give not more than 500.. neighbours or closed onces wud give 1000+ n yeah ur relatives might give u 10000 or more.. it varies alot on wht type of people u'r inviting.. n from wht CLASS.. u know it matters alot here in pak.. apne show shaw ke leye people wud give something really big.. like a gold set etc..

(thanks for ur replies tho)
Re: money
Are they families or people , because a family is composed of at least 2 people we take an averge of 4 people per family then it will be 100 families but since shadi and valima are seperate there will be some families invited to both the events so let us assume 150 families altogather. some will give you gifts some will give you cash , gift cards. let us assume 50 percent will give you cash or gift cards , which will be 75 families , now multiply it with 50 dollars as an average so you will end up getting 3750 dollars in cash.
It can all prove to be wrong because it is all based on assumptions.

Re: money
i have heard ppl giving umm around 75-200$ Canadian on an average. however, like others said, it all depends on ppl and other factors like family or single etc. couple of ppl i kno have given as much as 500$ to thier nieces on the weddings.
Re: money
if you're not close to the bride and groom, the minimum is that you should pay for your plate, plus a bit more. thats the etiquette, i believe.
so if there are 4 of you going, a $100 is not going to cover it... if you assume, they've paid $50 per person, which is really little but anyway for the sake of assumption, then you should take $200 and so on.
Re: money
i agree sgc- but i highly doubt many people will gift that much. desis don't always understand the concept of "no boxed gifts", yet alone costs associated with weddings. i think the "norm" from the many weddings i've seen and gone to has been $100 cash gift. for close friends and relatives, its ranges from $200-$1000.
Re: money
^ sad, but true! lol
Re: money
on average i say people would give $100 (relatives not included)
