PerfectWeddings.sg recently released the ang bao market rates for weddings in Singapore for the year 2014 on its Facebook page.
完美婚礼网最近在它脸书页面发布了2014年婚礼红包市场数额。

Ang bao rates start at $90 for wedding lunches at hotels like Riverview Hotel and Changi Village Hotel to as high as $260 for a wedding dinner at 5-star establishments like Capella Singapore.
红包的数额大小从参加宾馆的午宴（给90美元），例如濠景大酒店和樟宜村酒店这种级别的，到高至参加五星级酒店晚宴（给260美元），比如新加坡嘉佩乐酒店这样的都有。

From the guide, ang bao rates typically start at a minimum of $160 for weekend wedding dinners at 5-star hotels like Fullerton Hotel, Goodwood Park Hotel and Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa.
根据指南里所说，参加周末五星级酒店晚宴的，最少也要160美元起，比如浮尔顿酒店、良木园酒店，还有圣淘沙香格里拉度假酒店这样的。

The ang bao guide, however, comes with a note from Perfect Weddings, which states:
不过，红包指南上有写完美婚礼的小贴士，其写到：

"There have been many instances when wedding couples were unable to recover the banquet cost from the ang baos given.
“许多例子表明，新婚夫妇收的红包数额不够填补办婚礼的钱。”

"This Ang Bao Market Rate is a guide to the giver on the appropriate amount to gift to the couple based on the average cost per seat."
“这个红包市场数额是给婚礼参与者一个小指南：从平均每位宾客的座位费来算，要给多少红包算得体。”
