[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we are talking about a child yeah the parents probably want to attend. It is a place they are not from and with people they don’t know. Welcoming the parents is common courtesy.[/quote]

Disagree.  The party is not for every guests entire family.  It’s for the bar mitzvah’s friends and family and the parents’ closest friends.  When I was 13 I flew to Toronto by myself to go to a camp friends bat mitzvah.  You need to tell the parents the invite wasn’t for them.  That sucks, I’m not sure how you actually do that, but you’re not wrong I’m feeling how you do. [/quote]

Why on earth would you fly alone to go to a bat mitzvah that you'll probably never see the kid again.  What a huge waste of money!  If the parents are decent enough to bring the child at your request, the least you can do is extend an invitation and feed them.[/quote]

Some camp friends are for life. Some kids go to the same camp for as much as ten years. That isn’t someone you will never see again.
