A bar and bat mitzvah celebration is a wonderful moment in a child’s life. Girls and boys want their special day to stand out, to be the one that everyone is talking about. They want their invite to be the biggest, most creative of all their friends. The designs are becoming more competitive and much more intricate from singing invitations, to 3D objects. Circus acts, performers, and laser tag, remain popular choices for entertainment. Technology is another popular component incorporated into bar and bat mitzvah celebrations, from interactive games for guests of every age, to a “bling bar” where kids can decorate their iPhones and other devices.
Parents are also ordering food from their kid’s favorite places and setting up different stations from each restaurant. This provides a variety of food for guests to try from Asian or Mexican cuisine, to pizza or fun pasta dishes for kids. “Bite-sized” meals are also a fun and popular trend.
For music, many families are opting to hire a touring band for a more “hip” feel or a live band that incorporates karaoke. People still look for a great DJ, emcee, dancer combo, because it gets friends and family excited and dancing. Another trend on the rise is to design the venue with a club-like atmosphere; this can include a big dance floor, mood lighting, decorative chairs, couches, and centerpieces that change colors or glow.

Many Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations center around a theme based on the boy or girl’s hobbies, interests, or brands they currently favor. Popular TV shows, like “Game of Thrones” and “Gossip Girl” are leading a lot of trends this year. These shows are brought to life through décor, centerpieces, activities, cake, and favors.
Their special day will be a memory they will have forever, why not make the most of it? Happy Planning! :)
