How Much Money Do You Give a Newlywed Couple?
你給新婚夫婦多少份子錢(qián)?
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(rèn)為沒(méi)有溫度的現(xiàn)金是非常沒(méi)有人情味的結(jié)婚禮物,但是你不得不承認(rèn)這也非常實(shí)際——因?yàn)槟阒佬禄榉驄D會(huì)用到現(xiàn)金。我經(jīng)常和朋友討論婚禮上應(yīng)該出多少份子錢(qián)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(huì)根據(jù)你與新郎新娘的關(guān)系而有所變化。根據(jù)愛(ài)結(jié)網(wǎng)的數(shù)據(jù),給同事、朋友或遠(yuǎn)親隨的份子錢(qián)在50美元到75美元之間。如果你與新婚夫婦的關(guān)系好一點(diǎn)的話,這個(gè)金額范圍會(huì)漲到75美元到100美元。如果你與新婚夫婦的關(guān)系更密切一點(diǎn)的話——比如,最好的朋友——你應(yīng)該考慮隨100美元到150美元的份子錢(qián)。
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(cái)務(wù)狀況也是其中一個(gè)因素,愛(ài)結(jié)網(wǎng)鼓勵(lì)你去考慮一下在你當(dāng)前住的城市,隨多少份子錢(qián)合適(舉個(gè)例子,如果你住在曼哈頓的北部地區(qū),那你出的份子錢(qián)會(huì)比中西部地區(qū)的小城鎮(zhèn)要多。)當(dāng)涉及到出份子錢(qián)這個(gè)問(wèn)題的時(shí)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(guān)系和你一樣密切的人尋求建議。無(wú)論多少現(xiàn)金,新婚夫婦都會(huì)感激你的。
