Preparing gifts in odd-number increments is a traditional Korean etiquette.
Avoid amounts containing the number 4
There is a custom of avoiding amounts containing the number '4', such as 40,000 won or 140,000 won, at celebratory or mournful occasions because they sound the same as 'death'.
Also consider your attendance.
If you plan to attend a wedding in person, it is common practice to prepare 10,000 to 20,000 won more than you would if you were not attending, taking into account the cost of the meal.
