[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$50 is really too little, IMO. I grew up in a wealthy area in NY, and got bat miztvah'd in 1989. I think ONE friend gave me $72, two sisters gave me a gold bracelet, and everyone else gave $90 or $108. So to give $50 NOW, seems way too low. FYI, if your kid isn't close with the kid who invited them, they don't have to go (and thus, don't have to give a gift). [/quote] Sad that you remember who gave what all these years later. [/quote] Lol, I hadn't remembered but my kids recently got bat mitzvah'd so it came up in talking with my parents. My sister reminded us that my parents had a huge spreadsheet of everyone invited, whether they were attending, how many in their party, what gift they gave, if we sent out a thank you card. My mother keeps score - she's the one who knew exactly who gave the least and the bracelet. She also made me invite about 20 rich relatives I'd never heard of saying "Don't worry - they won't come, but they'll send a big check." I vowed not to do that with my kids. But I do appreciate getting through college without needing to take out loans. [/quote] :shock: [/quote]
