Keep in mind, the prices I listed are for a Vietnamese/Chinese Banquet style wedding at a restaurant, not some fancy hotel.

If it's just you and your wife/girlfriend attending, I think $350 would be nice. For 3 people, $500 is about right.

remember, assuming it's a nice wedding, they're shelling out $200 or so to feed you and have you at the party, so much less than $500 and they barely break even on you.
Well I spoke to the bride the other day, and she said its like $80 a plate. So with my date I guess I'm costing them $160

You could give them a smaller cash prize and spend tons of money on him at his bachelor party....
Reception is in Irvine Not sure on what kinda food tho

Bachelor party is in San Diego, the other grooms men weren

i just got married in may - 100.00 is cool. that, and your in the wedding should be more than enough. Say some kind words at the dinner/lunch table - support your friends all the way, that should be mnore than enough.
