How much money should I give at a Japanese wedding?
It's customary to give money gifts at a Japanese wedding. Here's a typical guide for how much money you will want to give.

- gifts may depend on size of wedding and location

- family gives the most, followed by friends, then co-workers

- friends give on average around 30,000 yen - couples: 50,000-60,000 yen (or double what an acquaintance would give, depending on relationship to the wedding party).

- family give average 50,000 yen

co-workers give on average 20,000 – 30,000 yen
the amount cannot be divisible by 2, as this is unlucky (though this is changing)
