Just like most countries in Asia, when you go to a wedding in Korea, cash is the expected gift. This, many people will know. But the exact amount could be a bit trickier. Traditionally, gifts for Korean weddings are not of even numbers. Cash gifts for Korean newly weds typically come in odd numbers (30,000, 50,000, 70,000 won) as odd numbers represent good luck. The whole odd/even thing don’t matter so much once you reach a nice round number of 100,000 won!How much should you give? Well that really depends. The amount of money you give should be representative of your friendship or relationship. If it’s someone you met just once and were invited via a drunk call or if you’re a poor college student, 30,000 won is about the minimum (don’t worry about looking cheap ;)). Bffs can range from 100,000 to 300,000 won. Customary gift donations are: 30,000 won, 50,000 won, 70,000 won. Anything between 100,000 won and 300,000 won is all gravy.Tip 1: Common protocol is to stuff the cash in an envelope and write your name on top. There will either be a collection box, or someone to collect these envelopes and take note of your name. Don’t be surprised if someone asks how much is inside (might happen).Tip 2: If you’re close enough, ask if they’d like something other than cash. Contemporary Koreans don’t put too much stock into these numbers and they also tend to love espresso machines
