Tip #1: Start planning early.

Make sure you pick a date and start the planning process with plenty of time. It’s never too early to determine details like venue and guest lists.

Organization and attention to every detail are going to be crucial for the smoothness of the process, as well as your overall enjoyment of your child’s bar/bat mitzvah. If you’re not confident in your organizational skills, it may be a good idea to hire a bar mitzvah planner to help take some of the stress off your shoulders. Many venues have their own planner or other people who can help with the process as well.

Tip #2: Determine your budget, as realistically as possible.

Setting a budget early is crucial to being upfront about what is possible for the gathering.

Budgeting early can ensure that you don’t spend too much on certain things while leaving no room for others. This may seem self-explanatory, but it can be easy to get carried away with one aspect and forget that you still need to spend on another. There will be a lot of costs involved, so make a list of them early on! Finding the venue early on–preferably before anything else– can be an extremely helpful part of this process, as it can play into the rest of the decisions you and your family will make regarding the event. The size of the guest list, decorations, and dates/times can all be affected, so get it out of the way! Budgeting is already stressful as it is, so get it done and find the vendors and planners who can help you stick with it.

Tip #3: Don’t be afraid to get creative with themes.

This is your opportunity to have fun and be unique! Your theme can play into all of the details that go into the event, like decor, food, and even venue in some cases. If you can’t think of any on your own, the internet is crawling with ideas that your family will love! This is also where you and your child can collaborate to find an idea that they will love as much as you do. Themes can range from favorite movies, places, and even sports teams.

Once you decide on a theme, you can get creative with everything that goes into the celebration. The presentation of food and decor of the venue can all revolve around what main theme you want to go with. Theme can also influence decisions on entertainment, music, etc. Like those throwing any other type of large celebration, you may want to consider small gifts and goodie bags to give to your guests. Depending on your theme, you can give away themed hoodies or hats, or goodie bags full of different types of treats and candies.

Perhaps the most important part of your theme is making sure it is maintained from the start– from the invitation through the function.

Tip #4: Remember the meaning of the event and the religious purpose behind it.

While the function will be fun-filled and exciting for all in attendance (especially your child), try not to get too preoccupied with the party aspect and remain focused on the religious importance of the bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah. Make sure that you and your family are focusing and celebrating mainly the religious purpose of the bar mitzvah/bat mitzvah. This mindset can also keep you from being too stressed about the details of the function itself when the day comes.

Tip #5: Enjoy yourself!

Once the day arrives, enjoy the function! You have put in all the hard work and deserve to release the stress and have fun with your child and all of your loved ones. No matter what happens, this is a celebration– ENJOY!
