for someone you barely know 30,000 is acceptable, but for anyone else it would be insulting. a good friend got married in April, I dropped 100,000. Anything less than 50,000 would be in poor taste and 40,000 is bad luck because it's 4. 30,000 was okay about 10 years ago. No need (and it's not really appropriate) to give a gift.


The ceremony will be 30 minutes, the food part at most 45. You can leave as soon as you've had your fill. Next wedding starts soon in the same room!


I disagree with this a little actually. I think alot of Koreans dont expect foreigners to even know the custom of bringing money. When my girlfriend's sister got married and I gave them an envelope with 40,000 in it actually (didn't know about the bad luck). She was utterly delighted and very suprised, they got me a nice thank you gift from their honeymoon.


yeah, i agree. my co teachers told me to bring 30,000 because that's what they were bringing. so....... unless i work with a bunch of stingy cheap co teachers.....
