Message: [QUOTE="Lothor, post: 814673, member: 66745"] I like Majestic's idea of the hint on the card. Bear in mind that people will generally want to give something. I got married in Japan and we told friends and family coming over from overseas (mainly Britain) that with the high cost of the airfare, we didn't expect anything, but even so most of them insisted on giving us an envelope with cash in it. So if people want to give something, I expect they will be happy with giving cash as it avoids all worries about the suitability of their present. You might want to think about the amount. that you ask for. I think the customary 3 man is extortionate and we asked for 1 man each from Japanese friends (many of them having kids and also travelling a long distance) and we did not give them the extravagant 'hangaeshi' souvenir gift.
