Do you give a gift at a Jewish naming ceremony?

My close friends have invited my wife and I to their daughter's naming ceremony, and I've never been to one before. Is this a suit and tie occasion? Is it customery to purchase a present or bring a gift of cash? Should I send a card?





Many thanks in advance.

Do you give a gift at a Jewish naming ceremony?
Yeah, bring a gift, but it doesn't have to be all that expensive. As for the wardrobe, just dress like you would for any other religious service. It's hard to go wrong with slacks, sports coat, and a tie. You can always take the tie off if you feel overdressed.
Reply:Of course you do. It considered disrespectful if you don't.
Reply:just be yourself, carry both a gift and cash, see how others are doing..then congratulate and rise to the occassion, they are your friends after all, prepare yourself for the party
