Celebrating your Bar/Bat Mitzvah with Inviter

Hosting a summer bar/bat mitzvah? Inviter can help with that!

It’s one of the biggest celebrations in the Jewish community, and it’s important to make it as special as possible. American bar/bat mitzvahs are known to be lavish and fancy. While you may not be planning an event of that magnitude, Inviter can help you add the attention to detail to make your celebration feel high-end.

The invitation

As you know, this is a β€œcoming-of-age” celebration that commemorates a young Jewish boy or girl taking responsibility for their Jewish faith. It’s a relinquishing of childhood views and an acceptance of their first taste of adulthood. Your invitations should reflect this transition, and Inviter has just the thing for that. Simply gather digital photos of the honoree from birth to current and string together a video using a video creator app (like Androvid for Droid users, or iMovie for iPhone users). Add a touching song to play in the background and you’re ready to upload and send your video invitation through Inviter. From there, we’ll send the invitation once you’re ready, and track your RSVPs so you’ll have an accurate head count.

The thank-you

As a special touch, you’ll want to send your attendees and gift-givers a special thank you for making your event memorable. Take the digital photos taken at the event and piece them together to make a highlight reel of the big day. Then add a special thank-you note at the end to send to those who attended, and as a way to keep out of town family members posted on the happiness of that day. It’s a fun an interactive way to keep the celebration going, even for those who were unable to attend.
