FAQ

How much does an average Taiwan wedding cost?

In 2026, a typical Taiwan wedding costs NT$ 500,000–800,000 total. High-end can exceed NT$ 1 million; small registry-style weddings can fit under NT$ 300,000. The banquet is the biggest line (50–65% of total), followed by photography, rings, and bridal makeup.

How much do red envelopes typically recover?

In 2026, average per-guest hongbao is NT$ 2,000–2,600. A 15-table (150-guest) wedding recovers roughly NT$ 330,000–390,000, often offsetting the entire banquet cost. Actual recovery depends on guest mix.

Why budget a 10% contingency?

Weddings always have surprise expenses: extra tables, last-minute customization, reprinted invites, larger envelopes for unexpected VIPs, transport, dress alterations. 10% is the industry-recommended buffer.

Which line items most often blow the budget?

Top three overruns: extra banquet tables (NT$ 15–30K each), photo package add-ons, and ring upgrades (carat creep). Lock these caps early and align with your partner on a hard limit.

Where can I save?

Self-arranged engagement photos save NT$ 20–30K; bulk-ordering cookies saves NT$ 10–20K; switching from paper favors to digital thank-you cards (this site's main product) saves both money and post-wedding labor. Venue and rings are areas where 'cheap' rarely means 'good value' — allocate budget here first.
