[quote=Anonymous]We are Jewish and want to have a baby naming ceremony for our daughter who is turning 1 in September. We were originally planning to make it a larger gathering with all of our friends but once we put together the list of family and friends (who all have kids) we would want to invite we are looking at like 50+ people. For that many people we can’t do it at our house and once I looked at venues, rabbi cost and catering it was easily going to cost $5K which is not worth it to us.

We decided to do something much smaller with just family, but we really want to invite one of the families we have grown really close to over the past few years (we also have older boys the same age). The problem is that this family is part of a larger group of friends we have and I am worried if we just invite them and not the others it will send a bad message and cause hurt feelings among the others. In total this group includes 6 other couples who have 15 kids between them... which adds 27 more people and brings us back to the higher cost.

What would you do - just keep it family and not invite any of the friends? Or invite the one couple and hope no one finds out or gets offended? There won’t be pics or anything.[/quote]
