[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish people would say what they actually spent. Has anyone done it for $3,000 or less? - With party or no?[/quote]

You certainly can do something for any amount. In this area I think there’s a lot more variety in how people celebrate than in places like Long Island. It’s not all driven by what people can afford either. Low key is totally fine. Exactly how that translates into a celebration depends on the size of your extended family, how many kids you want to include.

We are spending about 10-12k. We could afford more but think it’s not necessary. We could have spent less and done something smaller also. For 3k, you could do a nice kiddish lunch after services and a later kids party at a fancy bowling alley. You could do a nice lunch just for close family at a relatively nice restaurant with a private room.

Or, have an open house at your home after services with a simple catered kiddish style lunch and some entertainment for the kids (caricaturist, etc) 3k won’t allow for an expensive photographer so that’s the one area where I think 3k gets tough if you want good pics, probably need to spend at least 1000. Invites can be evites, favors are unnecessary or can be really cheap.[/quote]
