A Bat or Bar Mitzvah is always an exciting time in the life of a child. For Jewish parents, the day a daughter or son becomes a bat mitzvah (for a girl 12 years), or a bar mitzvah (for a boy 13 years), this is a great milestone. In recent years, this has become a huge reason that calls for a grand celebration with friends and family. In Atlanta, if you will soon be a proud parent, here are some details and steps you would want to consider in planning a bat or bar mitzvah party for your child. Like any other party, keep in mind that event decorators in Atlanta play a major role in ensuring the event planning takes place according to your preference.

At Let’s Celebrate Events, we ensure that their celebration should surpass their expectations! Here are some tips for your next event.

Set a Celebration Date

One of the first things you need to know before you plan your child’s party is the date you want to celebrate his or her mitzvah in the synagogue. The assigning of this date could be to about three years well in advance or depending on the size of your child’s congregation. Often, this date is close to the actual 13^th birthday of your child.

Choose the Venue

Before you decide to choose a location for the party, you will have to decide whether you prefer the party to be one held in the evening or afternoon. If it is one in the evening, you will have to pre-book the venue. However, some details you should consider before talking to your event planners include:

•          Will the party only be for kids or people of mixed ages?
•          Will the party take place at the synagogue, or should be another location?
•          Will the food be non-kosher or kosher?
•          Is it a better idea to save more on the decoration expenses?

Once you sort out these questions, it will give us a better idea of how we should approach the décor for your event.

Choose the Theme

It is not necessary to have a theme for such parties, but having one makes the entire event a memorable one your child will enjoy. Often, the theme you choose should reflect the interest of your child. At Let’s Celebrate Event’s, here are some of the theme possibilities to get you started.

•          Hollywood
•          Cartoon

Rest assured that we could also add the theme you choose to invitations, decorations, party favors, the cake, and centerpieces.

To make the event an entertaining one, you can also consider having some live music, or add in some fun elements like balloons to ensure your child enjoys!
