In Chinese Wedding, there are always reception tables for the guests to ask about their table which they will be sitting at.
In addition to that, this is a time when guests will give red packet or ang pow as a gift to the wedding couple.
There is money in the ang pow. If you are just a normal acquaintance or fellow colleague, the amount of money is about S$80 to S$100.
For very good friends, they may give about S$120 to S$150.
For relatives, they may give from S$200 to S$2000 depending on the closeness and relationship.
Some relatives may even give to S$10,000 to the wedding couple.
At the reception table, there is an ang pow box when guests can slot their red packets in.
There is always a close relative or family member who is in charge of the box as the amount of money in the box may build up to S$40,000 for that night.
I have heard of con man who posed as relatives and divert the attention of the person who is in charge of the box. The con man may lied that the groom told him to take over and he ran off once he got hold of the box.
You may choose to do-it-yourself or buy a ready-made one.
How you can do a ang pow box for your wedding?
You need to get a box for A4 papers, a piece of wrapping paper, glue and a decor.
For the decor, you may be able to get wedding bears, dolls, angels or any item you think is suitable.

Can I replace a power tube in a guitar amplifier without matching it to the existing power tubes?
I just bought a vintage amp and it has 3 Mullard EL34′s but is missing the fourth. I have read that if i get a fourth and don’t get it matched it will compete against the existing tubes. I eventually want to get a 4th matched tube and the other 3 tested but i want to turn the amp to make sure it is functioning properly as it is before investing in new tubes. Is it okay to play through it at low volumes with just the 3 tubes and/or can i get away with putting in a cheap EL34 in the empty slot to play for a little while before getting the 4th matched Mullard?
Most high end audio products using tubes require matched tubes for two reasons:
1. Sound quality
2. Electronic reasons.
The best case scenario – the mismatched tube will be relatively close to the installed tubes, and you’ll have some distortion and poor sound quality.
Worst case scenario – the mismatched tube will be so far out of spec with the other tubes that it will lead to a lot of distortion, feedback, etc, and it will permanently damage some of the other electronic components in the amp.
Best advice – see if there is someone local who has a spare set of tubes that you can borrow to do your initial tests, then invest in a set of matched tubes afterwards.
If you really want to cheap out and not buy all four tubes, at least buy matched pair, and replace two of them. They are generally used in pairs – but you will need a schematic and someone with experience to tell you which two are paired with each other.
