Planning a Bar Mitzvah Celebration
There are many different times in life when we need to step back and consider the possibility of the events that are taking place. When we get married or when we have children are some of those possibilities but in the life of the Jewish parents, the day that their son becomes a bar mitzvah or daughter becomes a bat mitzvah are certainly reasons to celebrate. There are many things that you can consider on those days to help make it special. Here are a few tips that can help you to begin planning the bat mitzvah or bar mitzvah celebration so that that they can be memorable.
One of the most important aspects of the celebration is going to be the planning. Depending upon the congregation, you may have up to three years to choose the date but it is roughly related to the child's 13th birthday. Those are the days that they are either going to become a bar mitzvah or a bat mitzvah. There are a number of different religious aspects to the date but we are not going to discuss those in the article. Rather, we are going to consider the parties and the surrounding celebration.
Something important for you to consider is if you are going to hold the party at the synagogue or if it is going to be held in another location. If it is going to be held at the synagogue, you may have to plan up to three years in advance to ensure that the day is going to be available. The last thing that you would want to have happen is for that day to arrive and for the synagogue to be used. Of course, those things should be confirmed before the bar mitzvah invitations or bat mitzvah invitations are distributed. If you're going to be hiring an outside location for the celebration, it is equally important to do so far enough in advance so that no problems are going to occur.
The food and beverages that are going to be available at the celebration are also something that needs to be considered carefully. It is likely that you are going to have some cocktails available before the main course is given. Some of the options that are available can include hors d'oeuvres that are passed by servers, a small carving station, fruit and cheese or cold fish, which is often very popular. You may also want to consider the possibility of having a separate menu that is available for the children. Of course, a lot of the food that is offered at the party is going to depend upon your budget.
Finally, make sure that you have the entertainment available for the event. This is also going to depend upon your budget in many cases but some of the more popular options include hiring a DJ or hiring a live band. You should also make sure that the children that are going to be at the party are kept in mind when it comes to the entertainment as well. There are many games that are popular among children and you should look into those before throwing the party.
