At a Kiddush Luncheon?

A Kiddush Luncheon is an opportunity to gather with friends and family immediately following your child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah service and do something very Jewish–eat!

What do you wear to a bar mitzvah luncheon?

Men are typically expected to wear a suit or slacks and a tie. Women should wear a modest dress or formal pantsuit. Avoid anything that shows a lot cleavage or leg. Bare shoulders should be covered with a shawl or bolero jacket.

How much money do you give for a bat mitzvah?

The gift should range between three to six times chai, or $54 at minimum to around $108 or more for each adult. The amount given per child should be between two or four chai. This means a family of two adults and two children may give between $180 and $360 or more.
