How Much Money Do You Give a Newlywed Couple?
你給新婚夫婦多少份子錢?
Although there are many who think cold, hard cash is a very impersonal wedding gift, you have to admit that it's pretty practical — you know the couple will use it. I'm always discussing with friends what the right amount is to give for a wedding, and the most common answer is around $100.
雖然許多人認為沒有溫度的現(xiàn)金是非常沒有人情味的結(jié)婚禮物,但是你不得不承認這也非常實際——因為你知道新婚夫婦會用到現(xiàn)金。我經(jīng)常和朋友討論婚禮上應該出多少份子錢合適,一般的答案就是100美元左右。
However, that number can jump around a bit, depending on your connection with the bride and groom. According to The Knot, you should spend around $50 to $75 for a colleague or distant friend or relative. If you know the couple a little better, that range hops up to $75 to $100. And if you're super close with the duo getting hitched — like, best friends close — you should consider forking over $100 to $150.
但是,份子的金額會根據(jù)你與新郎新娘的關系而有所變化。根據(jù)愛結(jié)網(wǎng)的數(shù)據(jù),給同事、朋友或遠親隨的份子錢在50美元到75美元之間。如果你與新婚夫婦的關系好一點的話,這個金額范圍會漲到75美元到100美元。如果你與新婚夫婦的關系更密切一點的話——比如,最好的朋友——你應該考慮隨100美元到150美元的份子錢。
Obviously, your current financial condition plays a factor, and The Knot encourages you to think about what's appropriate for the city you live in (if you're all based in upper Manhattan, for example, you may spend more than a small town in the Midwest). When it comes down to it, rely on your social instinct, or ask someone equally as close to the bride and groom for advice. No matter what, any amount of cash is appreciated by the pair getting hitched!
很顯然,你最近的財務狀況也是其中一個因素,愛結(jié)網(wǎng)鼓勵你去考慮一下在你當前住的城市,隨多少份子錢合適(舉個例子,如果你住在曼哈頓的北部地區(qū),那你出的份子錢會比中西部地區(qū)的小城鎮(zhèn)要多。)當涉及到出份子錢這個問題的時候,你可以依靠自己的社交本能,或者向某些與新郎新娘的關系和你一樣密切的人尋求建議。無論多少現(xiàn)金,新婚夫婦都會感激你的。
