Lounge areas at Bar/Bat Mitzvahs are all the rage and the furniture now comes in many shapes and sizes.
You can do a small seating area or make the party one large lounge area. There are many high impact and exciting lounge designs that fit all budgets and add visual interest to your room.
Many venues now offer their own lounge within the venue and many entertainment companies provide this type of decor as well.
The picture above is from the Citron spotlight and the lounge was created by Dazzling Parties.
Tip: You can personalize your lounge area with great pillows or a gobo that adds your child’s name, initials or theme.

Jamie K Photography services New York, New Jersey and the tri-state area.
Her Mitzvah blog is filled with terrific Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations. Matthew’s Bar Mitzvah party pictures caught our eye and we wanted to share all their great ideas with our readers!
This Bar Mitzvah boy from New Jersey used his initials as his theme. Afterall, his initials MSA are almost the same as the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden (MSG).
Check out Jamie K’s beautiful photos below:
We always focus on what the girls are wearing. We love how Matthew’s shirt incorporated his initials
The custom bar had the Knicks’ and Rangers’ logos, along with the date of the party. Check out the score!

Many Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations include a signature drink (non alcoholic for the kids of course).
Bar-Candy, a New York based catering company has developed an exclusive patented edible glass that will wow your guests!
Imagine offering a bubble gum-tini, a refreshing coconut mango-tini, cinnamon bun-tini, bananas foster-tini, rocky road-tini or strawberry cheesecake-tini just to name a few.
They offer mocktinis for young adults guests and you can rim the glasses with crushed cookie bits, bright fruity colors, or gold leaf. All these “drinks” are served in edible chocolate swirl cups that fit inside specially-fitted champagne and martini glasses.
The cone-shaped vessels come in melt-free milk, dark, and white chocolate and can be dyed to match decor. Bar Candy was featured in “Whose Wedding is it Anyway,” on the Style network and voted best new product on Biz Bash.
Though Bar Candy only caters parties in the NYC area, they can ship the chocolate cones and glasses nationwide, and they’ll send you the recipe for any of their custom candy/cake/cookie-tinis…for your bartender to follow…how cool is that?
Tastes yummy

Ceiling decor is becoming very popular!
We have found that almost anything can be hung from the ceiling and look good.
TIP: If you are planning on incorporating hanging decor make sure you check with your venue to ensure that they allow items to be hung from the ceiling. Also plan for more set-up time. You cannot have tables and chairs set up at the venue before or during the installation of hanging decor.
Check out some of these clever ceiling ideas including the picture above from event planner Andrea Solomon:
This Mitzvah celebration had a ceiling filled with sparkle organza and lights from Balloon Artistry

Many families struggle to come up with a theme, but sometimes one symbol can tie all your decor elements together. In this case, it was the Jewish symbol of the Star of David.
Here are a few subtle ways this family reminded everyone why they were gathered together – to celebrate their child’s Jewish milestone event.
This Bar Mitzvah comes from the Santa Barbara area and was coordinated by Felici Events.
Photography by Halberg Photographers.
For the invitation, the Star of David logo was created by Lazaro Press who did an amazing job of bringing out the star shape amidst the existing circular pattern
The menu and the table numbers featured that same great logo
Place cards for guests
There were many cool accents like the neon napkin rings and tall glowing votive candles
Christine Dahl Pastries paired the offset yellow Star of David with blue fondant on the outer layers of the cake
Between each layer of the three-tiered cake sat a transparent box filled with lights and shimmering sparkles
You can see the Star of David on the floor and wall
The guests received a CD of the Bar Mitzvah boy’s favorite songs – check out the great cover

Celebrations at Home founder and event planner Chris Nease sent us this great casual Bar Mitzvah backyard picnic she created for a client. They wanted a backyard-style party on a budget.
The backyard was covered with a tent so Chris didn’t need to worry too much about the weather. She did have one challenge that she shared with us, “I had planned on 4 tabletops but when I got there, there were 5! I had to spread out the centerpieces in order to cover the 5 tables.” As Chris put it so well “Gotta roll with the punches when working on real events!”
As the pictures below will show, everything worked out great!
All the printed items are found at on the DIY Etsy site Paper & Pigtails.
Guests were greeted by simple flower arrangements along with a DIY sign welcoming them to Larson’s Bar Mitzvah
Napkin pockets were made out of various fabrics. On the right is a picture of their votive candles in mason jars with with rocks and moss
Casual seating for some of the young guests on hay stacks with blankets
Mason jars with fun straws held drinks and Chris used burlap runners across the tables
Fabric wrapped cans and pretty bottles holding flowers added to the charm
Simple decorations give it a homey feel!
Near the photo booth set up area props were provided to add to the picture taking fun!
The guest book area was set up with 2 large canvas boards and paint pens so guests could write messages to Larson on his special day
The pie pops from Cakewalk Desserts, displayed in mini bales of hay were a hit with the guests. Chris covered a paper mache “L”(the Bar Mitzvah boy’s initial) with moss and hung photos of the guest of honor on the backdrop with clothespins for a personal but inexpensive touch
The mini spoons are from Think Garnish with ”eat cake” stamped on them. The jars from Walmart are exactly the size of a cupcake
With good weather, a backyard celebration is a great idea! Thanks to Celebrations At Home for sharing this party with our readers.
