Now, when this kid gets married if op is invited, that is another story….
In the other thread on the exact same topic from last week (cited above), the vast majority of us who are throwing a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or have thrown one said that we just want our guests to come and enjoy celebrating with our family and recognize the signifance of the day for our child. We don't care about the gifts at all and definitely dont' think that the amounts some people keep throwing around are necessary or even possible for most people.
