[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC never got invited to a single bar or bat mitzvah in middle school. Can parents please consider only providing these shirts as party favours on the condition that all kids from the child's grade level are invited?  Try to imagine how kids feel to see these shirts week after week. [/quote]

A couple of thoughts:

1) inviting all the kids from a grade level only works in some smaller schools.  For DD's Bat Mitzvah, this would have meant inviting 600 kids.  Given our venue could only hold 150 people, and our budget could only handle about 100 people, that was not going to happen.  The cost to invite the entire grade would be about $30,000;  I do not have that kind of money.

2) we did not do clothing party favors.  I do not have that kind of money.

3) you can not control what people wear to school.

But no one is suggesting you have to invite the whole grade - just not offer a favor that would highlight the exclusion of some people if you are not inviting the whole class.  You cannot control the choices others make, but no one can wear your kid's bar or bat mitzvah t-shirt to school the next day if you didn't offer one ....
