Hi, everyone! I know there are a lot of etiquette experts here, so I was wondering if I might get a consensus on how much money you generally would give for a bar or bat mitzvah...I have two coming up:
1. one is in NY (I live in NY) for my first cousin''s son...both my FI and are going, and it''s a formal affair. I haven''t seen or spoken to this family in almost 4 years.
2. the other is in Atlanta, for my other first cousin''s daughter (my first cousins are siblings) ...only I am going, and there will be a kids'' climbing party after (no formal reception). Although I haven''t seen this part of my family, I speak to my cousin with some regularity.
I''m superrrr broke (like, having trouble making rent)...but I don''t want to seem cheap. Help!
Thanks in advance
