How to Update Your Swag/Logos for Postponed Bar Bat Mitzvah Events

If your Bar Bat Mitzvah date has been postponed, can you still use the swag and giveaways with your original date? The answer is: YES!

This question was asked in Mitzvah Market’s Philadelphia Area Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planning Group on Facebook. Vendors and parents agree that you can and should use any Mitzvah related merchandise that you’ve already purchased/printed. Family and friends will all understand the situation and the swag with the original date will become a fun conversation piece.

If you do decide to reprint your favors, vendors may offer discounts or agree to reproduce the items at cost. For other families, simply putting a spin on the original party swag feels right.  

See below for clever ideas to re-use or re-imagine your Bar Bat Mitzvah swag:

Party Logo Design created this clever, animated logo for a Bar Mitzvah family who did not have a new date yet. Using the Bar Mitzvah boy's initials, they emailed this to guests to let them know that Cameron's baseball theme party would be rescheduled.

Donald Kramer of TransTrade Promotions is working with a family who ordered swag for a sports themed Mitzvah that is now postponed. "They decided to send the favors out now," he says. "With a note thanking guests for being on their team!"

"One thing I've done is change the logo date to EST (established) with the Mitzvah child's birthday date instead of their Mitzvah party date," says Vicki Ross of Plan-It Vicki. She collaborated with Geri Denyer from Denyer DeZignz to create these two Bat Mitzvah logos

SPACE54 modified Justin's original logo to create a text message for guests with his new Bar Mitzvah celebration date

"Get Ready to Celebrate in December," uses the Bat Mitzvah girl's initials (GRC). Created by FabuDesigns.com, owner Amy Wohl is working with clients to adjust their logos when their celebrations are rescheduled

A Promos USA created this dance floor giveaway for a family whose Bar Mitzvah was postponed to Halloween weekend. "Corona's Gone, Let's Party On!" uses the child's initials (CG) and a catchphrase that can be printed on other swag items

For a family who wanted to keep their original logo on the back of their sweatshirt swag (left), Jaylor Party Favors is adding a new 2020 design to the front of the shirt (right) so it will work for any new fall date
