Party Favors for Bar/Bat Mitzvah's
Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations are a religious commemoration of the "coming
of age" of boys and girls when they turn 13 (sometimes 12 for girls). The
religious commemoration of the event is typically noted at a Saturday morning
(Sabbath) service in which a portion of the Torah is recited. While some
Bar/Bat Mitzvahs are celebrated with a small casual brunch following the
service, others are major "events" with all the stops pulled out!
It has become quite common for this "coming of age" celebration to last an
entire weekend, with the following events:
Friday evening informal party
Saturday morning service
A luncheon following the service for a select group
A big event on Saturday night
A Sunday brunch
If you are expecting many out of town guests, or want to continue the
celebration for the entire weekend, you may want to plan a few additional
informal activities as an option for guests for some of the "down time". Some
guests will choose to rest, and others will want to be involved in activities
such as bowling, swimming, roller skating, biking or hiking, flag football,
etc.
Determine first the number of events you would like your celebration to
involve, and then proceed to choosing a theme or color scheme for the big
Saturday evening event. The other events can share a similar theme, or just
be casual affairs with simple decorating and food.
The following themes represent the 10 most popular choices for Bar/Bat
Mitzvahs:
Celestial
Stars
Music
Sports – (either a general sports theme or one specific to the favorite of
the individual: basketball, golf, tennis, football, wrestling, swimming,
etc.)
Fifties
Luau/Beach
Western
Hollywood
60's & 70's Retro
Jungle/Rainforest
While these themes are the most popular, they are by no means the only
choices available. There are "Outer Space", "WCW", "TV", "Butterflies",
"Egyptian", "Skateboarding", "Rainbows", "Night on the Orient", "Nascar",
etc. Bar/Bat Mitzvahs…anything your child is interested in, we can build a
theme around, and help you with your planning. A general color scheme is also
a very popular choice, and works well to help blend all the events of the
weekend.
After you have selected a theme, or decided on a color scheme, select a theme
slogan to use through all your planning. You will need this for
invitation selection, favor imprints, and for any other printed materials. The party
tips that are created for specific themes contain some slogan suggestions, or
you and your child can come up with something creative. If you are using a
general color scheme, it would be perfectly appropriate to choose one of the
following: "Join us as we celebrate Rachel's coming of age!" (For imprinting
purposes on your napkins, favors, etc., "Rachel's Coming of Age Celebration –
June 16, 2005"), or "Martin's Bar Mitzvah – August 4, 2006!"
For out of town guests, call a few local hotels to gather room rates, and
don't hesitate to ask if they offer a group discount rate. Many will allow
you to reserve a block of rooms for the weekend, and then guests can call in
and pay for their own room. On a separate insert in your invitation, include
hotel names, rates, and a code for your block rate, along with a small map of
where the hotels are located in relation to where the events will be held.
Prepare a special gift basket for each out of town family, and have the
baskets delivered to the hotel prior to their arrival. This simple gesture
will show your appreciation for the effort they have made to honor your
child.
Hire a limousine to chauffeur your child and his/her best friends to and from
the events…this milestone in his/her life should be memorable!
After you have determined the number of events to be held, and also
determined your budget for each gathering, prepare guest lists for each
event. While some events will include everyone, others may include a smaller
group. For example, a Friday evening party may include only family and out of
town guests.
While it may seem like a thrifty and personal touch to plan on cooking or
preparing some of the food for smaller gatherings, you may find that it is
generally best to do as little cooking as possible. Whenever possible, hire
caterers, and purchase prepared food from restaurants, delicatessens, and
food service markets. There is no need to create extra stress when the
parties are upon you, and you will have more time to mingle and enjoy the
festivities.
Favors are an important part of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration. Check our
"Decorating with Party Favors" tip for some specific ideas, and try to tie
the favors to your theme slogan, or to your child's interests.
Along with your invitation, let guests know that you will be paying tribute
to the guest of honor. Ask them to think of funny or heartwarming stories or
important advise to live by to share at your party. Send out a card with each
invite, and request that guests bring the completed "card" on the special
day. At a specified time, possibly before you eat, have each person read the
message they have prepared. Videotape each guest as they deliver the message
to your guest of honor, and then present him/her with the videotape as a
memento of the party. He/she will be tickled by the gesture, and you will
have created a priceless treasure. As an alternative to reading and
videotaping the messages, you can collect the cards and compile them into a
scrapbook. You could add a photo of each person/family to their message, and
the scrapbook would serve as a lovely keepsake.
If you don't like the idea of having guests come with a prepared message, you
could set up a video camera in an area with a decorated backdrop, and ask
guests to stop by at some point during the evening, and record a more
spontaneous message. Have each guest start by saying "David, you are special
to me/our family because…". Throughout the evening you will create a touching
tribute, filled with warm memories, funny stories, and the smiling faces of
those who came to honor your child.
Plan a "This is your life" or "Spotlight" segment during the party. Gather
old family videos, photo albums, school pictures, artwork, trophies, etc.,
and take the time to "chronicle" the life of your child. Decorate a special
chair for him/her to sit in.
A nice touch for the evening would be to set up a photo backdrop area -
either a balloon arch, or a metallic curtain - so that the guest of honor can
have his/her picture taken with either individuals or groupings of his
choice. You will want to take plenty of photographs to document this
important once-in-a-lifetime event!
Teens all over the world have one thing in common…they love to get together
with friends and have fun! Pick a theme that
appeals to you…and let us help you plan a party that will be remembered long

Decorating for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
Setting the scene for a spectacular Bar/Bat Mitzvah can be easy with some
simple but dramatic decorating tips. While many parties are "theme" based,
many are planned around a color scheme. Either way, choose your colors as a
starting point, and you'll create an inviting atmosphere. Most color themes
are built around one or two main colors. If you select only one color for
your decorating, try to add little touches of another color or a lighter or
darker shade of the same color. If you select only one color, adding little
splashes of white, black, gold or silver will not detract from your main
color choice, and the effect will be considerably more dramatic!
One of the best ideas for Bar and Bat Mitzvah Decorations comes in the
from of using symbolism in your centerpieces.
It has become quite common for this "coming of age" celebration to last an
entire weekend with a range of parties to plan from luncheons, informal
Friday evening parties, black tie affairs on Saturday evening, and sporting
activities for out of town guests. These decorating tips can be used for any
of your parties, and it is perfectly appropriate to carry one theme or color
scheme throughout the weekend, or to choose something completely different
for each.
What Should I Choose?
The party protocol "rules" that once used to determine or limit our choices
no longer exist! It has become very popular to select a theme related to the
interests or talents of the child to be honored. If you elect not to use a
specific theme, choose favorite colors, colors to complement your party
setting, or colors to set a mood…anything goes! If your party is not theme
based, decorating around a favorite color is the perfect choice! For example,
if your son's favorite color is green, build the perfect party around varying
shades of green .
If your party is theme based , choose colors related to the theme. The
following list represents a sample of some color choices, but by no means
does it represent the only choice that would be appropriate! Choose
color-based basics, then add some fun props related to your theme to create a
spectacular party setting!
The themes listed below have been the most popular for Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, but
bear in mind that no theme is off limits! If you can imagine it, the party
planners at ReasonToParty can help you decorate for any party! After you
select a theme, we'll provide you with some specifics on decorating, favors,
and entertainment.
Celestial – royal blue, and gold
Stars – gold or silver and black
Music – black and white with little splashes of red
Sports – green, and the predominant color of your son or daughter's favorite
sport (Orange for basketball, bright yellow for tennis, black and white for
soccer, white and red for baseball, etc.)
Fifties – black, white, hot or pastel pink
Luau/Beach – lots of brights – green, yellow, blue, hot pink
Western – red, black, and white
Hollywood – black & gold or silver
60's & 70's Retro – lime green, hot pink, purple, banana yellow, or turquoise
Jungle/Rainforest– varying shades of green, with splashes of orange, red &
yellow
BALLOONS - Click Here to see our section for Decorating with balloons!
CURLING RIBBON – A must have if you are working with balloons! Curling ribbon
is available in a multitude of colors. Use curling ribbon to anchor and
accent balloons. It is easily "curled" with the blade of a pair of scissors.
Scatter little curls over tabletops for an easy and very inexpensive
decorative touch.
GOSSAMER –Click here to see our
Decorating with Gossamer section.
STREAMERS – Create stunning ceilings that instantly transform your room by
draping 2" or 4" wide
streamers in your theme colors from the ceiling's
center to the room's sides. Streamers can also be used to accent tabletops
and gifts, and to make bows. They look terrific hanging from doorframes,
cascading vertically down walls or hanging horizontally across ceilings if a
tent-like look is not your preference.
Streamers can be twisted after they
are anchored to a ceiling, wall or table for a more dimensional look. Two
different colored streamers can be placed back-to-back, and twisted for a
unique look.
BACKGROUND PAPER – Transform any large room into a spectacular party place.
Cover walls, doors, floors, and windows with rolls of
Seamless Paper (9' X
36' roll), decorative flat paper (4' X 50' roll), or
Poly Vinyl.. They can be
found in the
All Occasion Store. The paper and the Poly Vinyl both come in a
stunning array of colors, and patterns…stars, marble, brick, checkered,
cobblestone, and water.
Cover a floor with black & white check Poly Vinyl for a fabulous look for a
50's sock hop!
Especially perfect for teens who love to doodle and create…cover a wall with
seamless paper and allow guests to leave messages, clever doodles, or
creative outlines of themselves for the guest of honor. A really fun
keepsake! Start by creating a message of welcome or a greeting to the guest
of honor on the sign prior to the party.
Transform ceilings into a starry night sky with star background paper in
black or blue with gold or white stars!
NAPKINS – Order
napkins to match your color theme, and have them imprinted
with a special message. Even without incorporating a theme in your
decorating, you can still delight the child being honored with a message that
lets them know how much you care, such as "Josh's Coming of Age
Celebration…May 22, 2000." If you are selecting a theme, print the theme
slogan on the napkin…"An Evening Under the Stars, David's Bar Mitzvah, July
29, 2000." You can choose from a wide range of napkin and ink colors. Select
a metallic foil, holographic foil, prismatic foil, or traditional ink
imprint. The napkins will serve several purposes…great decorating in disguise
and a delightful memento for the guest of honor!
CANDLES - Think romance and mood lighting…candles, candles, and more candles
in a shade to match your color theme. Use tapers, balls, and votives to pull
together a sophisticated color theme. As long as they are out of the reach of
small children, fill all the tables with various sized candles and keep them
lit throughout the evening. Prior to the party, put your candles in the
refrigerator or freezer. Cooler candles will burn for a much longer period of
time.
Floating candles look absolutely lovely. Color the water with food coloring
to match your color theme. (Just like painting in elementary school, the food
coloring can be mixed to achieve just about any color you need!) Place a
glass bowl, or several different sized wineglasses filled with water on a
mirror. Add candles, and colored or clear gemstones (found in the
All Occasion Store) and enjoy the dreamy look you have created!
Filled
glassware candles provide a gorgeous addition to any tabletop, and are
available in flutes, goblets, snifters, and mugs. We offer a number of
glitter candle colors, including mixed glitter, glitter banded, and volcano
glitter, mini confetti (primarily gold, silver and iridescent), 14 different
wax colors, stacked wax (combine two or three theme colors), or gel candles
in numerous colors. Set one at each place setting on tables, or group several
together in the center of the table. Set the candles on a round or square
mirror, and add gem stones, curling ribbon curls or confetti to the base for
a beautiful centerpiece.
CONFETTI – No respectable party tabletop should be left without a sprinkling
of confetti! However,
confetti isn't just for tables anymore! Try sprinkling
confetti or sparkle powder in a color to match your theme on a dance floor,
an outdoor pathway leading to your party location, in party invitations, or
even inside balloons for a great, unique touch at a budget price.
CORRUGATED PAPER –
Corrugated paper can be used to "build" props and setting
pieces like nothing else. Use it to make columns, faux staircases, structures
(pirate ships, a fairy castle, a tiki hut, an enormous basketball…let your
imagination run wild), and to cut out shapes and 3-D designs to fit your
theme. Huge geometric shapes are perfect for a general color theme. Our
corrugated can be cut or folded, stands without support, and comes in 17
basic colors, 7 metallic colors (wonderful reflective quality), and 31
different patterns. Checks, bricks, cobblestones, bamboo, lattice, shingles,
marbled…you name it!
COLUMNS – Columns provide an elegant decorating touch. There are several
ready-made columns that can be accented with gossamer, streamers, or garland,
and topped with balloons or corrugated cut outs. They also look sleek and
sophisticated standing alone or grouped together. Columns provide a grand
entry-way or a great photo backdrop, and also work well to section off a
large room (dance area, food area, etc.)
CURTAINS – Metallic, vinyl, star, holographic and cracked ice
curtains in a
dizzying array of colors provide an economical way to add dazzle to
bandstands, doorways, food areas, or photo backdrops.
GARLAND –
Garland is ideal to mold around centerpieces, outline the edges of
tabletops, wrap around candle bases and votives, garnish gift packages, twine
through balloon bouquets and wind around columns. We offer garland to match
any color theme , and it is available in metallic, fringe, ivy, and even an
iridescent twist ribbon that resembles water. A must-have for any party
setting!
TWINKLE LIGHTS – Add twinkle lights to balloon arches, strands, columns or
clouds, to gossamer swags and ceiling tents, table edges, around the
perimeter of a room, and to hi-light signs, banners and corrugated cut-outs.
If there are trees around (even indoors), add twinkle lights to the trees or
make twinkle light balls by wrapping the lights around Styrofoam balls and
place them in the trees (with an extension cord). This makes a really unique
round light effect.
Twinkle lights look lovely when strands are placed down the center of a
tabletop. While white cord blends well with most color schemes, if you want
to stick with your color theme, try this idea. Remove the bulbs from the
light strand, and spray-paint the cord to match your theme color. Tape
dangling light cords to the underside of the table or to the floor. Lots of
oohs and aahs will follow!
SPORTS ACCESSORIES – Centering a Bar/Bat Mitzvah around a sports theme has
become extremely popular. There are many items that can be added to your
décor. Imprinted balls, foam hands, pom poms, pennants, imprinted sport
towels…all add a fantastic look to a room, and serve a dual purpose, as they
can be given as party favors when the evening is over!
TISSUE DECORATIONS – Tissue balls and fans will never go out of style! Hang
them from the ceiling over your party area in a color to match your theme.
They look terrific mixed in amongst balloons. If you are using just one
predominant color in your decorating, they will look especially good as they
provide an interesting mix of textures. Tissue posies are a wonderful
complement to the balls and fans. Attach tissue posies to walls, doorframes,
table edges, or tabletops. Tissue decorations are perfect for those working
with a limited budget as they add bold splashes of color at economical
prices.
LUMINARIAS – luminarias provide an easy, very inexpensive tabletop
decoration. The star luminarias come in red, black, gold and silver. The
candlelight glows softly through the stars for a dreamy effect. Set three or
four down the center of a table, with star confetti scattered between them,
or set one at each place setting. Line walkways, entry paths, room perimeters
or stage fronts with these simple but popular decorations.
CHANDELIERS – Turn your party location into a glittering, sparkling fantasy
location. Chandeliers add instant elegance and glamour to any setting at a
reasonable cost. They are perfect for dances, Hollywood parties…any time the
mood calls for a romantic atmosphere.Silver, gold, white or black chandeliers
will complement any color theme!
PARADE FLOAT ACCESSORIES – Visit the parade float store for additional items
to fill a party room with color. Floral sheeting, festooning, 14" fringe,
custom-made banners, "pomps" tissue squares, and metallic "pomps" all add
brilliant splashes of color to backyard tents, family rooms, gymnasiums,
large banquet rooms, and serving tables.
Traditionally, when we think of party favors, we think of the "loot" bag
passed out at the end of a child's party. Today, most hosts and hostesses
enjoy giving each guest a memento of the party to take home. Every Bar/Bat
Mitzvah should be marked with a favor to treasure. The gesture doesn't have
to be expensive or extravagant, and in the
All Occasion Store,
there are favors
to fit every budget.
Rather than waiting until your guests are making their exit to give them a
party favor, you can give your guests favors during the party, which will add
color and fun! Favors can do double-duty at any party, as they provide
perfect tabletop accents that can be used as decorations. The ideal favor for
a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is one that both teens and adults can enjoy. The following
favors will appeal to both age groups.
You may also want to add a few additional teen favors for the friends of the
guest of honor. These can be related to the interests or hobbies of your
child (sports related favors are always a big hit with teens), or can just be
fun or silly goodies in a tote bag. Select favors specific to your theme from
one of the "themed" stores, and place them on the tables, or if you are
decorating around a color theme, any of the following would be perfect:
GLASSWARE Check out the huge selection of custom imprinted glassware.
There are flutes, goblets, mugs, and snifters in a multitude of sizes, shapes,
style and color options. Guests can drink water, wine, soft drinks, etc. from
a special glass, then take the glass home and fondly recall the party every
time they see the glass. In addition, we also carry parfaits, dessert dishes,
and candy dishes. All will add a lovely, elegant touch to your tables. Tie a
small piece of satin ribbon, curling ribbon, gossamer streamer, or even a
party horn to each stem (attached with metallic garland) for a festive look.
The glassware can also hold a gathered cloth or paper napkin to create a tall
dramatic look at each place setting. Glassware filled with candy, mints, or
chocolate treats or with metallic shred to match your theme colors also
creates a terrific table accent. For a black tie or other formal affair, add
charming black, white, gold or silver tux ties to the stem of your glassware.
CANDLES – With the exception of giving candles to small children, a candle
favor is sure to be a big hit with all party guests! The filled glassware
candles provide a gorgeous addition to any tabletop, and are available in as
many style options. They can be imprinted with your theme or special message.
We offer a number of glitter candle colors, including mixed glitter, glitter
banded, and volcano glitter, mini confetti (primarily gold, silver and
iridescent), 14 different wax colors, stacked wax (combine two or three theme
colors), or gel candles in numerous colors. We can also add a scent (choose
from 13 different flavors) to any of the candles. Set one at each place
setting on tables, or group several together in the center of the table. Set
the candles on a round or square mirror, and add gem stones, curling ribbon
curls or confetti to the base for a beautiful centerpiece.
Votive candles can be displayed at each place setting in a custom imprinted
votive holder. We also offer a number of specialty-shaped candles (stars,
moon) with holders that make delightful favors. In addition, we offer elegant
lampshades in clear or frosted glass with a variety of base styles that
accommodate a votive candle. The lampshade and votive holders can be
imprinted with a color of ink to match your color theme.
Votive candleholders can also be used as place cards. Purchase unimprinted
votive holders. Add clear or decorative computer generated labels, or print
names on with a paint pen (gold or silver look best). Most computer software
programs now have a calligraphic font, which creates a wonderful formal look.
FRAMES Give guests frames imprinted with special party details. See the huge
variety of imprintable frames, in a wide array of sizes, colors and styles.
If your budget is limited, try one of the imprinted acrylic frames. Place a
frame at each place setting, and use the frames as placecards. Using white or
colored paper, create a placecard for each guest using a fancy font in your
computer. As an alternative, print names with colorful markers or paint pens,
or paint names with watercolor or acrylic paint. Cut each piece of paper to
fit the frame. The effect on the table is beautiful.
If you will not have assigned seating, and will not be using name placecards,
put a special message inside each frame. Add one of the following to each
frame: A heartfelt thank you poem or note from the guest of honor to each
guest (a copier makes this easy to execute) about sharing in this important
"coming of age" celebration; a funny limerick or poem about the guest of
honor; the menu for the evening; or your party slogan would look great
filling the frame.
When the party is over, the frame can be filled with a photograph. Either use
a Polaroid™ camera to send a picture home with each of your guests, or mail
souvenir photos at a later date with thank you notes. Make sure that you have
plenty of film on hand, so that you can take lots of pictures of the guest of
honor with each family/couple/ or individual in attendance. Place disposable
cameras on tables and encourage guests to use them. You'll have plenty of
warm memories captured to pass along to your appreciative friends. A nice
touch for any celebration would be to set up a photo backdrop area - either a
balloon arch, or a metallic curtain - so that the guest of honor can have his
picture taken with either individuals or groupings of his choice.
PHOTO ALBUMS OR PHOTO BOXES Imprinted photo albums or Photo Boxes make a very
special favor, and one that your guests will treasure for many years to come.Both of these favors can be imprinted with ink to match your color
theme. A white photo album with a red imprint would be ideal for a red and
white theme. Stand the photo albums or photo boxes at each place setting. The
photo boxes can be used as placecards in much the same way that frames can be
used. To make the boxes really stand out at a table, add a little metallic
shred to "peek" out of the sides. Add little treasures (candy, mints, special
message) inside if you wish. As an alternative to standing the frames or
photo boxes at each place setting, tie a piece of satin ribbon, curling
ribbon, or a gossamer streamer (the bows hold their shape much the same way
that wired ribbon bows do…at a fraction of the cost). Lay each favor at the
center of each place setting.
As suggested in the frame favor section above, take lots of pictures at the
party, or leave disposable cameras on tables and encourage guests to use them
throughout the evening. Disposable cameras can be spray-painted (silver,
gold, purple, etc.) to match your color theme, and provide yet another unique
decorative touch. Just make sure the lens is left unsprayed! The Photo Box
can also hold the invitation, program, confetti from the tables, other
photos, and small decorations saved from the weekend.
VASES – Allergy sufferers aside, everyone loves flowers! Why not give each
guest a vase complete with an array of fresh flowers, a single blossom, or a
beautiful silk rose? The
All Occasion store store offers plenty of vase options
(several can be imprinted) in the Small Decorating Items section. Set a vase
at each place setting, and then inform your guests that the arrangements are
theirs to keep. They'll appreciate the sweet gesture! Silk roses are perfect
for decorating around a color theme, and are available in yellow, pink, red,
black, purple, navy blue, burgundy, light blue, teal, white, lavender, royal
blue and ivory, metallic gold and metallic silver.
GLOW IN THE DARK GOODIES Think glow in the dark! Check out the glow in the
dark bracelets and necklaces. Not only do the children love them, but adults
do too! We've seen the necklaces worn in some pretty creative places on the
body because they can be connected together, and configured many creative
ways. On party tables, wrap necklaces or bracelets around glassware, use them
as napkin rings, or weave them into centerpieces…A guaranteed hit!
STADIUM CUPS – For a delightful splash of color at a budget price, place a
stadium cup at each place setting. Use the stadium cups for beverages, or
fill them with metallic shred and little treats. They can be imprinted with
your special message at a very economical price, or individual names can be
printed on each cup with a paint pen. Stadium cups are terrific for Bar/Bat
Mitzvahs, especially for less formal Friday evening or luncheon parties.
BUBBLES - One of the most economical and fun favors offered is a bottle of
personalized bubbles. The label on the bubbles can be imprinted with your
theme or special design graphic, in your color of choice. The bubbles look
great on tables as a stand-alone favor, or you can tie a piece of curling
ribbon in an accent color to the neck of the bubbles. For more formal
occasions, the bubbles are just as much fun and a great table accent when
wrapped elegantly! Cut circles out of gossamer, netting or tulle (9" in
diameter). Place the bubbles in the center of the circle, wrap and tie with a
12" length of thin satin ribbon or curling ribbon.
KEY TAGS – See the huge selection of key tags…theme specific, toys, imprintables, photo key tags…and they look terrific as table accents when
they are used as napkin holders. Your personal message, a theme tie-in, or
your color theme can be echoed one more time in your decorating!
SPORTS FAVORS – Use cheer phones, mini balls and pom poms on tables for a
brilliant splash of color. These items make terrific favors for any party
with a sports theme. The cheer phones or mini balls can be imprinted with a
theme slogan or a special message, or they can be used as placecards. Print
names on either favor with a paint pen, and place one at each place setting.
Your guests will love it!
FAVOR BOXES – Favor boxes also provide an economical table accent. They can
be filled with candy, mints, nuts or toy trinkets for each guest. If you are
filling the boxes with candy, select candy in a color that complements the
colors you will be using for your other decorations. To save money on the
volume of "treats" you will need to fill each box, start by filling each box
with some metallic shred or a little gossamer "puddle" in a coordinating
color.

table decorating, or help in locating any of the favors listed above, email
