Planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah yourself can seem like a daunting task for such an important milestone. It’s an occasion you, your family and friends will want to remember for years to come. Take the stress out of organising the evening’s celebrations with our useful tips on planning the perfect Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah party.

Pick a theme

Although picking a theme for your Bat or Bar Mitzvah isn’t essential, having a clear creative will help focus your party planning. We’ve seen themes ranging from favourite colours to sports, street art and neon rave, so use this as an opportunity to show some personality and dare to be different! Make sure you get your child involved in choosing their Bat or Bar Mitzvah party theme - they could surprise you with a more contemporary idea than you’d initially considered!

Book your DJ

A good DJ plays a crucial role in setting the pace for your evening and ensuring your party is one to remember! With years of experience performing at Bar/Bat Mitzvah parties, ST Entertainment’s DJs will create the perfect tone for your event by balancing a mix of chart hits and party favourites with a thoughtful nod to tradition. (Of course, no Mitzvah is complete without the Hora!) Our top tip is to get organised and let your DJ know any must-play or speech intro-songs in advance to ensure they’re ready on the night!

Decide on entertainment

Getting the entertainment spot on for your Bat or Bar Mitzvah party is really important. Hiring a photobooth is a popular choice for lots of families - and for good reason! ST Entertainment’s Photobooths are a fantastic way to keep guests occupied throughout the evening, while sending everyone home with a fun memento of the special day. Plus, with a range of backdrops, customisable printouts and options such as guestbooks/keyrings you can really make the booth your own. Find out more about Photobooth hire for Bat and Bar Mitzvahs.

Photo & Video

Booking a professional Bat or Bar Mitzvah photographer is a great way to remember your event for years to come. A celebration video is also a wonderful way to re-live those all important moments and things you personally might have missed, such as guests reactions to speeches. Briefing your photographer/videographer on the running order and key family members in advance is a good idea. A big confetti finish at the end of the party always makes for stunning photos - just make sure everyone knows when this is happening so the photographer can time the perfect shot!

Don’t forget the lighting

So you’ve decided on the venue, booked a DJ and chosen your entertainment but have you considered the lighting? The right lighting can transform any event space and create the perfect ambience for your guests. So, if you want your Bar or Bat Mitzvah to stand out you should definitely think about your lighting options. From colourful perimeter lighting such as LED uplighters, to professional moving heads that light up the dancefloor, we have a range of production solutions to elevate your party to the next level!

Enjoy yourself!

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, relax and enjoy yourself! Celebrations can fly by when you’ve spent months planning them so take a step back and trust the event professionals you’ve booked to execute the Bat or Bar Mitzvah party you envisioned! It’s a day that your child will remember for the rest of their life, so soak it up and allow yourself to celebrate with your family and friends.
