Is this Chinese New Year going to be your first time giving out ang baos as a newlywed couple? You might have some questions. What are the market rates for giving ang baos? Must I give ang baos to my unmarried peers too? And what’s the difference between “Fit-for-Gifting” notes versus new notes?
Generally, most people agree that your parents and in-laws should get the largest ang baos. This is rooted in Chinese values and culture. We suggest you prepare some generic ang baos with a standard amount of money. Be sure to carry these around throughout the CNY period, not just when you go visiting. Who knows, you might run into a colleague and her kids at a mall, or bump into an old friend and her family while running errands. If you have a stack of ang baos ready to go, you can just whip one out and avoid any awkward situations. All set!for ang baos in 2015 was up from $4 to $6 the previous year.
Although 4 is also an even number, it’s considered bad luck as the Chinese word for “4” sounds like the word for “death”. So, tempting as it is to give $4 — which seems an affordable amount for people you don’t know that well — it’s better to avoid this in case others take offence.: Kids, teens and young adults get ang baos because they are young.: Kids, teens and young adults get ang baos because they are unmarried.
If you have kids, you’ll know that they tend to say and do the darndest things at the most unexpected moments . To avoid embarrassment, remind excitable little ones to say “thank you” after receiving ang baos. Then, keep them away and only let the kids open the ang baos back at home. is to get some from your bank. Just drop by your nearest branch and ask if you can have some. If you have a relationship manager, they’ll usually help out too.
