Hi people,

Like to find out, in today's trend, how much should a chinese couple save for their wedding?
This is assuming that there are around 30 tables for the dinner reception?

What else is required for the wedding?

Depends where you are holding the wedding dinner and also the dishes you want. If normal restaurant, it might be around $500-600/ table. If Hotel, depends on which hotel, normally from $750 onwards/ table.

Need to get brothers and sisters, helpers for the wedding day, ang baos needed around 1K or even more, this depends how much per ang bao you are packing it. On the day you 'fetch' your bride, see how the sisters going to 'chop' you. maybe another few hundreds at least. Photographer for the dinner a few hundreds onwards
Videographer for the dinner a few hundreds onwards
Photo shoot in studio all that with wedding gown and night gowns, package mostly starts from $3K. Most of the time will pay at least $1K+ more than the package price.
Wedding bands, maybe your wife wants a diamond ring? another cost.

If you are also buying and reno a flat, moving in after the wedding, purchase of flat, reno, electrical appliances, furnitures and other little things for the house will cost at LEAST another 15-20K.

Oh, honeymoon, depends on where you are going....
hope this extensive list helps u =)
