How many sheva brochos did you go to?
Did your kids also go to to sheva brochos?
If you made Sheva brochos or contributed, how much did you spend?

went to the ones I was invited too which were some. No my kids didnt go to any besides shabbos and even that tried to leave them at a relative. For one of my siblings in laws all the siblings chipped in and made one together in a home so was a few hundred dollars each couple.

I generally go to only the one's from our side. Or only 1 of us attend. It's just too difficult to find childcare every night.
We make 1 sheva brachos & we split the cost. It usually comes out to about $350 per couple.

I felt pressured to go to every single one as the only married sibling. The ones from our side definitely expected, and the other side was so enthusiastic in their invitations, too. It was so stressful, don’t think I’ll be doing that again.
