Melisa Imberman of The Event Of A Lifetime, Inc. coordinated a beach themed Bat Mitzvah recently at the beautiful Shenorock Shore Club in Rye, New York. The venue overlooks the Long Island Sound making it the perfect location for a beach-themed Bat Mitzvah. The colors seafoam and coral were the perfect palette and Melisa designed everything “beachy” around that!
The photographer was Chad David Kraus Photography.
Beach Themed Place Cards/Logo/Sign-In
Starfish place cards were set in sand with shells and driftwood
Names and table numbers were attached
The logo was sunglasses with the Bat Mitzvah girl's initials below and "Em Ban" in the corner, just like Ray Bans. Here the logo on a canvas board for guests to sign-in and write a special note to Bat Mitzvah girl Emma
Beach Cocktail Hour & Food
Adults were invited onto the deck for the cocktail hour. They enjoyed music from a steel drummer and "beachy" hors d'oeuvres like mini lobster rolls and crab cakes
The BBQ dinner was also outside where guests enjoyed delicious swordfish and pineapple kebabs, chicken and peach kebabs, steak and of course hamburgers and hot dogs! Sides such as Roasted Corn Salad, Brussels Sprouts, and Cole Slaw were on the tables and served family style
