“How much should I pay?”
It’s a weekend when there are many weddings, and the worry about wedding favors deepens due to the influx of invitations.
They found that ordinary people in Korea pay 50,000 won if they don’t attend a wedding, and 100,000 won if they do.
According to Shinhan Bank on the 20th, an email survey related to congratulatory money was conducted among 10,000 economically active people between the ages of 20 and 64 nationwide between October and November last year.
People in their 20s and 30s thought it was better to attend a wedding rather than pay a large gift, and people in their 40s and older thought it was better to send an envelope rather than attend if they were going to pay a small amount . In addition, those in their 40s or older responded that they would only attend congratulatory or condolence services of close friends, acquaintances (93.4%), or employees in the same department at work (72.2%).
When asked, ‘How much do you pay as a congratulatory gift for an acquaintance’s wedding?’, the most common response (67.4%) was that they would pay 100,000 won if they attended in person. This was followed by 50,000 won at 16.9%, 200,000 won at 8.6%, and 150,000 won at 1.5%.
The highest response rate of 52.8% was that they would pay 50,000 won if they delivered an envelope or deposited money into an account without attending.
The average congratulation money amount was calculated to be 80,000 won for non-attendance and 110,000 for attendance.
However, if the location of the wedding was a hotel, it was found that the average gratuity was 120,000 won. Although 57.2% of respondents said they would pay 100,000 won, the proportion of respondents who said they were willing to pay 200,000 won increased to 15.6%.
