[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another jewish mom of a girl. A bat mitzvah is significantly more tag a birthday party.  The party is similar to a wedding, only it's more as the child learns and recites many prayers at the service. It will cost our family roughly 55,000.  Would you attend a wedding and not give a gift.  200 for a family of 3 and 54 if just your child attends.  It's not all about the gift, but don't be cheap.  [/quote]

So because you are going overboard with the party you expect your GUESTS to give higher value gifts?  Tacky all around. [/quote]

No I don't expect my guests to "go overboard" but I expect my guests to WANT to GIVE an appropriate gift that recognizes the religious signifance and expense involved - it's not just a birthday cake and pizza and the money will be put away for college, not spent the first weekend at the mall and based on your obnoxious comment you don't realize this at all. I am not inviting people for the gift, but these posters claiming "just make a 5 dollar donation to a chairing and the family will not know the amount" well they are acting like jerks.[/quote]

Well, if it is about "the money will be put away for college" then shouldn't I give more to those who can't afford a big party? After all, if you can pay $50k for this simcha, paying for college should be a snap, no?

OP - reread the posts from those who say "what we care about is that you share the day with us" and follow their advice.  Don't listen to those focused on the $.[/quote]
