[quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you for your responses. So what I'm getting is a cash gift is appropriate. Meaning - DD is not supposed to show up with a physical present like it's a kid's birthday or anything like that.

One other question - the invitation was for the jewish service and then the party after.  I've heard from other people invited that they're just going to the party afterwards.

Just for us, I don't find that appropriate - from what I understand, DD's friend has spent a lot of time learning Hebrew and the religious verses, etc. - so I've made clear to DD she needs to show up for her friend and sit in the pews while she and her family have their moment.  Admittedly, I'm not Jewish but I don't want my daughter just showing up at the after party.

The reason I raise this is because the invitation was to my daughter and the after party is in the evening.  I'm just wondering - should I drop my daughter off at the synagogue and wait outside and pick her up after or is it okay if I go in and sit with her.

Obviously, I'm not proposing to attend the party itself - I'm just trying understand the protocol for the religious service.
