[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would expect between $25-75 for a non Jewish kid attending solo.  Bonus points if it is in a multiple of 18 as that shows they tried and googled bat mitzvah gift or attended enough they picked up on multiples of 18 being traditional.

For non Jewish families attending I would expected between 100-250.

For Jewish kids 72 minimum unless there is a circumstance.

For family members - 500 minimum but my dd received 5000+ from multiple close family members.

This would be what I expect from guest at “typical fancy” DMV bay mitzvahs.[b]  They are as expensive as weddings - Saturday evening venue rental, food/cocktail hour, DJ, MC, dancers, lighting, “swag”, candy bars, photo booth[/b]. [/quote]

What does the fancy-ness have to do with the gift?[/quote]

Just people aren’t throwing a backyard bbq and expecting 50 for your kid to go.  [/quote]

What is the bar/bat mitzvah is a party in the family's backyard? With catering from a local, non-fancy restaurant? Does that change expectations? Because I have only ever been to 2 bat mitzvahs and they were very low-key affairs.
