[quote=Anonymous]We're Christian, but have probably been to around 20 Bar/Bat Mitzvahs for friends of our kids/kids of our friends, and our kids have been to many more.  We live in close-in MoCo where the parties skew over-the-top (e.g., party at night at the W or Four Seasons with an after-party concert or rock-climbing expedition for close friends and then an overnight at the hotel for the kid's very close friends and then buffet the next day including parents of kids who didn't go to the party the night before, etc., etc., etc.)  Oh, and often there are fund-raising events before the ceremony for the child's Mitzvah project.

OTOH, we've gone to some that are more laid-back -- e.g., buffet supper in the back yard with games for the kids, or dim sum lunch at a Chinese restaurant for kids and adults, then a low-key party in the evening for the kids at a community rec center, or buffet supper and dancing for kids and adults at the temple, or -- this was really fun -- party in a county park with kickball for everybody, dads' band, plus taco truck and make-your-own ice cream sundae bar.

As a guest, I've found the latter are the most fun -- families are less stressed and there isn't an element of one-upsmanship, which seems to enter into some of the fancier parties.          [/quote]
