[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify - it is a MULTIPLIER of $18.  Not just $18.  If it's family, we would give $640 or so, in check form so you can salvage the situation if lost.  If a very close friend, then $270 or break $300.  And so on.  Ideally, this goes into a college fund so checks  are best.  Remember the family is laying out thousands of dollars for the event so your cash gift should, at a minimum, cover the cost of your child attending the party, food, etc.  Just $18.00 won't cover it.  And, yes, checks are best, not gift cards.[/quote]

$640?!?!?! Are you insane? Thank goodness I only have 1 niece and 1 nephew on my DH's side (the Jewish side.) We will probably give $180 to each, but only because we "have to." I don't care how much the family spent on the event. No one forced them. Most are not even observant Jews. If they were, I'd feel differently, but most of the time it's a shameless money/attention grab and the kid CANNOT wait to be done with Hebrew school and the parents won't set foot in the temple again once it's over.[/quote]
