I give a gift of cash not because of food but for the people that’s getting married

So I didn’t hear you gals tell your audience how much to give based on the different closeness of relationships. All I heard was some folks saying how much to give from $50-$100. Is that for a single person attending? What would be more helpful is to state clearly how much you should give for a couple, single or family with 2 children etc. What’s useful would be how much a typical per person plate cost at a popular Chinese/VN restaurant. I haven’t attended a VN wedding in years so watching this video wasn’t helpful much.
