Is it okay for wedded couples to ask their guests which angbao did they give?
I recently attended my colleague’s wedding and i gave her an angbao without writing my name (i dont have the habit of putting my name down, i know some people do).
The following day, i received a text from her asking me to identify the angbao that i have given her. In my mind i was thinking like wth?
Why would you take a photo of the angbaos people gave and ask them to tell you which is the angbao they gave?
Of all the weddings i attended, this is the first time i have encountered such situation and i thought it was rather rude…
Disclaimer, i have done my duty of covering my portion of the banquet table and even gave extra, so don’t say I never write my name cause i scared people know i am a cheapo

- Ya to me this is rude and lame. Wanna invite people but also wanna make sure they can tally and “keep scores”, idk man, just seems very off putting to me.
Thankfully is just a colleague not a relative or close friend so you are spared from any close interactions a personal basis. - Perhaps thats why she is a colleague and not a friend. Remind her that.
- Your host is being petty, and really thick skinned to even ask.
IMO.. if cannot afford the banquet, don’t do it. if want to have some lavish banquet in some 5 star hotels getting driven to the venue in a Lamborghini then make sure they can afford it instate of gambling their budget on angpow.
For me. I pay what I can afford, and how much the host spend is their problem.. not my problem at all
