[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lower key seems to be the way post-covid. Kiddush after services, and kid-only slightly fancier birthday party later.[/quote]

Reviving this not-too-old thread as we have to do some planning too, and like OP, don't want mini-wedding. Probably will have 30-40 family guests and maybe 15-20 kid friends. Kid is fairly outgoing and would definitely go with more friends versus fewer.

We'd like something fairly modest, but one question I have is whether the friends who attend (likely to be a mix of Jewish and non-Jewish friends, if that matters) would be annoyed by basically having to devote a whole day or weekend to this event, with their parents shuttling them. What I mean is, if you do Saturday morning services followed by kiddush - and our shul does a fairly food-heavy kiddush, so it's a light meal - and then you want to do the fancier birthday party thing at bowling or laser tag or the like, is that super annoying for the kid attendees' parents, to have to drop them off and pick them up at synagogue, and then a few hours later or the next morning bring them out to the party event?
