    Some people would actually think it's a bit rude to invite someone that they haven't seen in like 4 or 5 years....

    good luck!! :p

    No, they'll be waaaaay too busy & nervous for the ceremony to hang onto and deal with gifts. Give it to them either before they head out to church or at the reception. Nobody gave me gifts during the morning or our wedding ceremony.

    I'm in a similar situation myself
    A really good mate of mine is getting married soon. The problem is he is chinese and his wife-to-be is white so i'm not sure what to give him. I don't think i've ever been to a non-asian wedding, usually i just give lai see as other people have suggested. But yeh the dilenma!!

    Dear Jack & Jane,

    Congratulations on your wedding. I wish you a happy and everlasting marriage with many babinos in your life. Thank-you for giving me the opportunity of being part of your celebration.

    Warmest wishes,
    Your homie !

    Why can't you give a red packet to an interracial couple? Money is money. I'm sure the wife is fine with that.

    finally got over with the wedding
    gave them a £50 lai c
    found something on the web and just copy it , pretty nice
    well the worst thing about this wedding is that every bloody one speaks mandarin
    and about 30 of them, small and simple wedding
    only i cant speak it, doesnt know any1 except the groom and 1 guy
    went to the registry, took some photo at Tower Bridge
    went to their home for them to change, then went for a meal
    after being fed they said thy're goin to karaoke
    ( i cant read any chinese and there's just no1 i can actually have a chat with)
    i just went to the groom and congratulate him and left fter the meal
    hope its not too rude

    hye, chill out.. it's only a wedding. I'm going to one at the end of August. Don't know the couple that well. I'm there because I know he mum very well. We're going to give an ang pow. That way, they can get wat they really need rather than what I think they woul like to have. In any case, I' m going to enjoy the food and the occasion. It's a mixed wedding- a Chinese getting wed to a lovely Hindu gal.

    easiest thing ask your mom for advice, unless she is clueless too which is -_-"

    Well a rule of thumb is to give a gift that is almost equal to the worth of your seat at the wedding.

    i agree with gift certificates. better yet visa gift cards because those are like the red envelopes of the 21st century
