Have you ever been to a Japanese wedding? If not, you should listen to this episode and learn about what Goshugi is. Goshugi(ご祝儀) is a gift of money in a special envelope. The amount given in this envelope differs according to the givers' relationship to the couple, their social status and the style of venue. In the case of friends or company colleagues, the amount given is usually between ¥20,000 and ¥30,000. In the case of close friends or those in a senior position at the bride or bridegroom's company, ¥30,000 to ¥50,000 is common, and in the case of relatives, ¥50,000 to ¥100,000 is not unusual.
