If you are attending a wedding reception you are expected to bring a gift of money and no we are not talking about twenty pounds or so for the latest toaster for the newlywed's home. Unless a fixed amount is indicated on the invitation card, the amount will depend on your relationship with the couple. the average is 30,000 yen (although I have been told that 20,000 yes is also okay) for a friends wedding (my Japanese friends shudder when an invite arrives in the post), while relatives are expected to fork out anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 yen. It is important that the cash is enclosed in a special envelope with your name clearly written on the front. It is also customary to give fresh crisp notes available at the bank. When you get to the reception, give the envelope to the person on the reception desk, upon which you will asked to sign your name in the guest book. On many occasions such as the wedding, there is also the obligation of giving a return gift. You can expect to receive bags of gifts after the ceremony or when you arrive at the reception.
