# The minhag is to have a minyan for the seudah of a brit milah.<Ref>Rama Y.D. 265:12, Yalkut Yosef Sova Semachot 2:11:2</ref> If one didn't have a minyan the seudah is still valid.<ref>Otzar Habrit 3:17:4 p. 239 writes that even if there wasn’t a minyan present at the seudat brit milah the seuda is still a seuda and the minyan isn’t the halacha but a minhag. Bechorat Habrit 265:66 says ten is enough but it isn't critical. See also Maharam Shik YD 386.</ref>

# If one would otherwise learn Torah one does not need to [[Bitul Torah|mevatel Torah]] in order to go to a seuda of a Brit Milah unless there wouldn't be a [[minyan]] at the seuda.<ref>Yabia Omer YD 4:19 who in turn cites Maharshag 2:125. The Maharshag explains that it is more important to learn Torah than to go to a seudat mitzvah and he quotes that the Maharam Shik told him this as good advice. He qualifies it that if there's a chance that there wouldn't be a minyan without him it is better to go to the seuda than to learn. Yabia Omer asks why indeed should he mevatel Torah in order to make the minyan if that is a mitzvah that isn't critical to have a minyan for the seuda. He answers that since having a minyan is an enhancement of the mitzvah (Rama Y.D. 265:12) we would mevatel Torah to make sure that happens and it is considered as a mitzvah that couldn't be done without you (Moed Katan 9b and Meiri there). Dibrot Eliyahu 8:62 cites and agrees with Yabia Omer.</ref>

# A brit milah which falls out on Sukkot must have the seuda of a Brit Milah in the Sukkah. If the Sukkah isn't big enough for everyone to enter, they should have a minyan have the seuda in the Sukkah and not eat outside the Sukkah. If they can't even fit a minyan, some say that they can eat outside the Sukkah with a minyan and others argue that they should have a seuda with fewer people in the Sukkah even without a minyan rather than eat outside the Sukkah.<ref>Maharik 179 cited by Rama O.C. 640:6 holds that the seuda of brit milah needs to be in the sukkah. The Biur Halacha 640:6 s.v. vseudat explains that if the Sukkah isn't big enough for everyone they should just have a minyan eat the seuda. If they can't even fit that, he quotes the Magen Avraham 640:13 who says that they can eat the seuda outside the Sukkah, while the Gra holds that you should have a sueda without a minyan rather than eat outside the Sukkah. Biur Halacha seems to favor the Gra in citing the Pri Megadim and Bikurei Yaakov to support that contention. Aruch Hashulchan 640:15 is very lenient to have the seuda outside the Sukkah if they don't fit.</ref>
