Reply To: "going rate" for bar mitzvah & wedding gifts

Minyan Gal; its my understanding that you live in an OOT canadian comunity where people have less close freinds and neighbors so the result is a) less simchos to attend. (like you said your freinds grandsons BM is comung up in a “couple of weeks”, do you know how many freinds kids BM’s I have in a “couple of weeks?) b)feeling much closer to those you do have.
