[quote=Anonymous]Hi there!
You’ve gotten mostly a consensus, which is great. I’ll agree with other posters and say:
-gift is usually a check but it is totally ok to do jewelry or a gc or something your child knows the mitzvah child will like. You can also do a nice jewelry box or tray, etc. Ideally something more lasting than a regular birthday gift but anything will be appreciated and appropriate. Bring the gift/check to the party, not the ceremony. No gift necessary if not attending but you may still want to give one if a close friend (similar to what you’d do for a wedding). 
-Also like a wedding you want to make an effort to go to the ceremony if possible but bonafide conflicts are obviously understood. 
-church dresses will be totally fine for the ceremony (shoulders covered). Short party/cocktail dresses with Nikes or other clean fashion sneakers are the trend for parties. 
-As for pick up time, you may get more info from the family closer to the event about pick up time / transportation, etc after you’ve RSVPd. If not, do not hesitate to reach out and ask. Usually services are over around noon but there’s sometimes a short bagel brunch on-site after. Evening parties tend to be 4 hrs or so. [/quote]
