[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the suggestions.  I think Im just going to have him give a $36 check with a card.  And I'll buy him a new suit.  Hopefully this will all be perfectly acceptable.  [/quote]

We are Christian, but we have attended many Bat/Bar Mitzvahs for the friends of our children and children of our friends and colleagues.  We usually gave checks, but sometimes gave gift cards or, for girls, jewelry.  The monetary value of the gift varied, depending on how well we knew the child and the family -- for a close friend and a ceremony/party where our entire family was invited we usually gave a gift of higher value.  I think the gift you're suggesting is entirely appropriate.

I'd guess that many/most of the boys who are not Jewish will not wear suits; instead, they'll wear a blazer  or just a dress shirt and slacks.  When you get closer to the date, many host families will send a letter with logistical details, and in some cases, guidance for non-Jewish guests regarding the ceremony.  [/quote]
