Slipper Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 DH and I are being invited to a Bar Mitvah. His cousin called and asked for our address so she could send a formal invitation. There are very few children in my husband's family. This cousin, her sister and my husband were the only kids growing up. The sister never married and the cousin only had one child, so child events are a big deal to his side of the family. Additionally, they have always been very kind to us. We aren't close, but we are very fond of each other. We will probably not attend the event for various reasons. We are not Jewish and I have no idea what to give as a gift although I think money is typically given. We will probably send a generous gift. Suggestions?

thescrappyhomeschooler Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 For our nieces, nephews and dh's cousins' kids, we have decided to give around $100.00, plus a meaningful small gift, like a necklace or an engraved picture frame.

Kareni Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 My understanding is that in the Jewish tradition multiples of 18 are significant. For an arty friend celebrating a bat mitzvah, we gave 18 quality Lyra art pencils. For another friend, we gave 18 candy bars.
