What are normal wedding ang bao rates to pack?

It is good to pack at least 10% or more than the following listed wedding ang bao rates. You should also avoid packing ang bao that bears 13 or 4. So you wouldn’t pack $148 or $138. Rounded and even numbers are preferred like $100, $120, $128, $168, $188 etc.

How are the wedding ang bao rates below calculated?

The rates are calculated based on the wedding banquet prices per table after including the 10% + 7% tax then divide by the number of pax for that table. For example if the wedding banquet price 2016 for that hotel is $1000 per table. The price the hotel will be paying shall be $1017. We then divide it by 10 as that is the number of pax per table to derive $101.70. This exclude Conrad Centennial Singapore which has 12 seats per table so for that we divide by 12 instead of 10.
