Jewish services and celebrations are usually followed by a festive meal. New parents might be too tired to want to cook, so ordering in or having everyone bring a dish to share are popular options. It’s a matter of personal choice and budget whether your brit shalom is a fully catered event or a simple potluck. There is no one right way to have a brit shalom, although it’s wise to keep things on the shorter side, as parents and baby will typically crave rest and privacy during the newborn period.
