This event was different for us, as it was our first Bat Mitzvah. It didn’t have all the traditional elements, but it was still a fun way to celebrate such a milestone in Angela’s life, and a great way for us to learn something new. The colors for the evening were fuchsia and lime, and the room décor was amazing!
The tables had black satin full-length cloths with black and white zebra print toppers. The center pieces were at least 3-4 feet tall, and rotated. How cool! Each had a custom made design on top, representing one of Angela’s interests. They included Facebook, sports, Twitter, iPhone, shopping, and many more. The bases were covered in fuchsia or lime fabric, to match the colors. Even the cake matched, as they were Angela’s initials in fuchsia and lime stripes. We had fuchsia and lime uplights tying it all together. The room was just awesome!
Now for all the other fun details. As the guests entered the ballroom and picked up their fuchsia escort cards, they were greeted by Angela’s life-sized photo cardboard cut-out. For Angela’s project, she made spiral bound Jewish Holiday Cookbooks. She collected recipes from family and friends, typed them up, and created the books. She asked guests who wanted a cookbook to donate to the charity listed inside. What a great idea! For fun off the dance floor, there was a traditional photo booth and a flipbook photo booth. Everyone loves to see themselves in a flipbook! After the Candle Lighting, everyone danced to some traditional songs, including the Hora. There were 4 giant balloons filled with confetti and smaller balloons hanging from the ceiling, so when Angela was lifted up in the chair, she popped the balloons and the contents showered everyone. It was fun!! The dancing, singing along, and fun continued until the celebration came to an end. Congratulations Angela and we hope you had a fabulous time!!
