Ways To Brand A Bar Or Bat Mitzvah Celebration
“To brand a party, you start with a theme. We take that theme, create a logo and then incorporate into all aspects of the party,” Toni Caroto from The Mitzvah Mavens tell us.
A family from Pennsylvania wanted a tailgate theme with sports related giveaways. The Mitzvah Mavens first designed the logo and then brought the logo into the room decor, dance floor giveaways, favors and more. By using the logo throughout the party, The Mitzvah Mavens made sure all guests would remember this Bar Mitzvah boy’s celebration!
Here are the branded elements from this party:
All items used the same logo!
Pillows for the teen lounge
Tees with the logo for staff and dancers
Napkins for the cocktail hour
Kids and adults love this for their phones
T-shirts to give out on the dance floor
You can't have a tailgate theme without footballs!
Water for the ride home
The staff at The Mitzvah Mavens is ready to help you with all your decisions to make this process as easy as it can be!

David and Dalton Rosenfarb celebrated their B’nai Mitzvah at the Primavera Regency in Stirling, New Jersey. These brothers knew they wanted to have fun with the party decorations and design something really cool that no one else had done before!
Enter Sweet Gifts By Star.
First, they decided on the theme. They went with a “Farb Mitzvah” to incorporate their last name. Additionally, after Jennifer from Sweet Gifts By Star learned about their love of animals, specifically lizards and fish, she had a few ideas!
Check out the results below:
For their candle lighting, Jennifer used 9 inch cylinders with green glass on the bottom, votive floating candles on top and "live" goldfish in the middle! Not to worry...after the celebration the fish all went to good homes!
This colorful lollipop tree was 25 inches tall and looked great as a centerpiece
These colorful candy centerpieces were used to decorate the lounge area and had enough sugar in them to keep the kids on the dance floor!
Custom candles for David and Dalton to use during the candle lighting ceremony
A few lucky guests went home with new pet fish!
The candy was a big hit with their guests
The candle lighting set-up
What happened to all the candy at the end of the celebration? It wasn’t an issue at this party, guests gobbled up the treats!
