Bar Mitzvah History and Facts
Bar Mitzvahs are a special time for a Jewish male. This is the coming of age for a thirteen year old Jewish boy therefore this milestone in life should be properly celebrated. Bar Mitzvahs have rivaled the extravagance of many wedding celebrations and the key to throwing a proper Bar Mitzvah celebration is organization.
The first ingredient in planning the Bar Mitzvah celebration is making sure that your son has gone through all the proper training and religious study qualifying him to participate in the Bar Mitzvah. Once that is in place the party plans can begin!
Invite your son to help pick the theme of the Bar Mitzvah. This theme will not only encourage your son’s participation in the planning but will provide you with a color palate that can be used for invitations, decorations, favors and centerpieces.
Themes are becoming more prevalent for modern-day Bar Mitzvah celebrations. Popular themes include sports, pop culture, and outer space. Make sure that your son is comfortable with whatever theme is chosen as this represents his transition into manhood.
The planner of the Bar Mitzvah will need to book the venue, music, caterer, photographer and florist for this special occasion. Starting to book these important staples a year in advance will ease last minute panic for the event. Ensure that each service provider is aware of the theme to encourage their own creativity. Keep in mind that the Bar Mitzvah is about the rite of passage of your son and have the day be as fun and special as possible!
