[quote=Anonymous]My 13 yo is starting to get a bunch of bar mitzvah invitations, and I am not sure what the etiquette is here (we are not Jewish).  The outer envelopes are addressed to him individually and there is no indication inside the invitation that it includes any other family members.  I barely know the parents (we've met, but never had more than brief conversations), so I wouldn't necessarily expect anyone other than him to be invited but for the logistics of the events.  For instance, one in front of me has a service at 10 am at the temple and then a reception that I assume immediately follows (the invitation doesn't give a time, it just says "celebrate with us following the service at...") at a location 20 minutes away from the temple.  Obviously he can't drive himself from the service to the reception site, so is it assumed a parent will attend with him?  I could just ask the parents, but don't want to put them in an awkward spot if there's something I'm overlooking here.  Thanks![/quote]
