We have been invited to a wedding in HK - ceremony, lunch at one of the 5-star hotels, etc. We are flying in from the UK, so not too familiar with customs. I know that the usual etiquette is giving a red envelope with cash inside. My question is... how much?
From what I have seen online the going rate for a red envelope for this kind of wedding (lavish banquette at a 5-star hotel) should be a minimum of HK$1,000 per person - so just over GBP100 per person, and less if the lunch is held at a restaurant - but I'm really not sure whether this is old info or not.
We are thinking of giving HK$1,300 per person (so HK$2,600 altogether). Does this sound alright? Help!
