About Vach Nacht Gifts and Platters
The vach nacht is the evening before the bris, when children come to the house to say shema by the baby and are given sweets on the way out. It is a small, short, late-notice gathering, and the family is usually a day away from hosting a full seuda — so what they need is the easy end of the catering, ready to hand out.
That means candy platters, nosh, cake and drinks rather than anything that has to be served hot. Order it for the afternoon before the bris so it is in the house before the children arrive, and add a card — the parents are unlikely to have the head space to work out who sent what otherwise.
What people usually send
- A candy platter to hand out to the children
- Cake and nosh for the adults who come with them
- A drinks-and-snack order that needs no preparation
- Something sent for the parents rather than the guests
