A card with cash is traditional.

It’s like a wedding and a reception or a b’nai mitzvah and a party in that usually you try to attend the event if it’s possible. But if you can’t for some reason, people will understand.

It’s not like a wedding or mitzvah in that a gift is not needed, but if you are like me and doesn’t like to arrive empty handed, something small is fine.

Just so you know the Saturday evening Mass is very long. Way longer than a normal Mass.

They may have invited you to that so it didn’t feel like a gift grab at the party. For a girl that age maybe a card with cash or a savings bond (do people still do that?). If you don’t know her well I’d be hesitant to do something like jewelry.

I was invited to the baptism of my neighbor’s daughter who is around 16 years old. I was invited to both the mass at night at a church and the celebration the next day. Do I attend both? Do I bring a present? I don’t want to offend anyone so any help would be appreciated. TIA!
