Promotional Items for Bar Mitzvahs and Bat Mitzvahs

A bar or bat mitzvah is a special day in a 13-year-old Jewish boy or girl’s life. It signifies being able to take on the responsibilities of Jewish adulthood. To celebrate this important event, in the lives of every young Jewish man and women, a large reception is thrown that is as big as a wedding. Arranging a party of this scale can be really fun and we’re here to help you plan the celebration.

What’s Your Theme?

First, you’ll need to come up with a theme. Figure out what the guest of honor’s interests are and start to form a plan around that, whether it’s sports, the beach, horses or even the city. Once you have a theme, choose a couple complementing colors that will tie in with the party’s overall look and feel. To make the night even more cohesive, be sure to sprinkle in elements of your theme throughout the whole celebration – from the balloons, down to the personalized cups and coasters. Color coordinated touches by florists and designers will bring together the whole room and all its decor.

Bar & Bat Mitzvah Prizes

One of the best things about being a kid and getting invited to a birthday party is playing games and winning prizes. When planning a bar or bat mitzvah, don’t forget the party gifts. Kids will love receiving a new pair or ear buds, basketball shorts, or fancy lip balm. You can even tie in a fun gadget like a slot machine that dispenses tee shirts with the guest of honors initials and date of bar / bat mitzvah on it. For something more lighthearted, try some of these fun sayings.

Dance Floor Light Up Accessories

After the speeches, dinner, and the candle lighting ceremony, the night usually progresses into dancing. To get the party started, give the kids fun personalized items such as light up ice cubes, light changing key chains, or glow in the dark bracelets. Having interactive items like that will break the ice and draw even the shyest kids to the dance floor. Consider introducing the items inside of a pinata, as prizes to guessing TV theme songs correctly, or distribute them when they order a soft drink. No matter how you give them away, these items will light up the night and make their dancing more fun.

No party is complete without a swag bag, and bar and bat mitzvahs are no different. In fact, their friends have likely come to expect them! You’ll need parting gifts both for kids and adults.
