The Gladstone Bar Mitzvah Family Spotlight

 

Jordan Gladstone celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on September 24, 2011 with a reception at the Willow Ridge Country Club in Harrison, New York.

When your Mom is a graphic designer and your aunt is one of the premier event planners in Westchester, New York, you know your party is going to be creative and unique!

Jordan’s theme revolved around his last name “Gladstone” and included touches of green and navy.

Check it out – you will be GLAD you did!

Victoria Dubin, Jordan’s Aunt and owner of Victoria Dubin Events, a full service event company located in Westchester County wanted to create something unique for her nephew. With a play on their last name, taglines were used throughout the party. “Glad to Eat” on the menu card, “Glad Guests” on cocktail napkins and guest towels, “Glad for Family” and “Glad for Friends.”

Some advice from Mom Paula:
“Just have fun and enjoy the process! Don’t forget the real reason you are having the event. It is a meaningful milestone that provides each Bar/Bat Mitzvah child with a great opportunity to display so many abilities and talents as well as enjoy the true feelings of pride and love their family and friends will extend towards them.”

Young guests received “Glad in the Hood” personalized sweatshirts with coordinating bags and labels. Mom Paula designed the logo and Favor It, a full service event company created them.

Jordan and his Mom worked together on Sundays in the fall working along with County Harvest to pick up donated food from Trader Joe’s and deliver it directly to a home for people with needs, whether it was financial or other.
