There is no 市價.
Only what you can afford, and only what you want to pay.
Honestly, traditional chinese wedding is just a show.
When I got married, we had to do one of these shows too. I think it is totally a waste of everyone's time.
Just think, amongst the, say, 20 or 30 or 40 (or even 100 if you can afford...) tables of guests, how many of them are geniunely happy to be there? Many of them are just friends of the parents, or even business partners or business friends of parents.
I myself have also attended so many of those banquets where the brides and grooms I hardly know.
Even it is a smaller size banquet with only 10 or 20 tables of "close friends and relatives", there must be people that do not want to be there.
In any typical banquet, I think probably only 10% of the people are genuinely happy to be there.
This is a traditional banquet.
I think is totally waste of everyone's time.
Nothing more important than a really good husband, good parents in law, and good marriage.
If it were me, I really do not care much about when my children would be doing for their marriage.
It is THEIR marriage and THEY should be deciding what they do.
When I got married, we did lots of "traditional things" because my husband is the eldest child. We did not mind because his family is a big family and they are all very traditional and old fashioned.
For my children, I would rather they just do whatever they want. May be just a cocktail party.
Frankly, I am kind of sick of those Chinese wedding banquets. Honestly, how many people are really interested in other peoples' banquets?
