The secret to a fantastic Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah lies in the planning. Between deciding who to invite and whether or not you need party rental equipment, many families find it particularly stressful to organize these special parties. Never fear — we’re here to help. Read on for our top tips to help you plan an unforgettable Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah.
Set a Budget
Setting a budget is the very first thing to do when planning a large event. Once you decide on a number, you can start thinking about how many people to invite, locations and other important details. While it’s often a good idea to be flexible when it comes to things like how many people to invite, it’s absolutely critical to stick with your budget as a planning baseline. You might need to invite fewer people, for example, to serve the type of food you want and come in under budget.
Pick a Date
While Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah parties are usually held close to the child’s birthday, there’s still a fair amount of flexibility involved when it comes to setting the date of the party. If you’re planning on inviting several out-of-town guests, keep their needs in mind when setting a date.
Book a Venue
Do you want to have a low-key celebration in your backyard or a large soiree with hundreds of attendees? Once you have an idea of the type of party you’d like to have and the number of individuals you’re planning to invite, it’s time to select a venue. Make sure the venue you select reflects the theme and feel of the party.
Plan Your Menu
Whether you’re hosting a low-key celebration or going all out with expensive catering, it’s critical to have a menu planned for your child’s special day. Consider hiring a catering company to add a bit of refinement to your child’s party — and by hiring caterers, you’ll have one less thing to worry about once guests start arriving. A party planner can work with you to develop a tasty menu that won’t break your budget.
