Convenient Tips for Northern NJ Families Planning a Brooklake Bar/Bat Mitzvah
The service — the actual religious ritual is the place where the most meaningful and memorable moments happen. But the celebration afterward is just as important. Here are a few convenient tips for planning a Bar and Bat Mitzvah that will save time while creating an atmosphere your child and guests will never forget.
Have your online Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremony first
In the digital age, parents might consider reimagining the ceremony. One thing you can do is bring it online and postpone the big parties for later in the year. This option can alleviate stress when there are time constraints. It might not be the service you planned, but you can still create something to be proud of with your child, showing what they’ve learned and how they can make the best of the situation until you can have a larger gathering.

Try and focus on the fun bits of planning a Bar Mitzvah celebration so you and your family can have something to look forward to. Your Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebration will still be fabulous so stay calm.
Mid-week celebrations
We have seen a new trend toward midweek celebrations. A midweek celebration is another option when weekends just won’t do. Please don’t feel that this is a second-best solution. Again, guests will want to party regardless of the day of the week it’s held, especially close family and friends. A celebration is a celebration.
Apply your theme and decorations to your food and drinks.
Use fun signage to describe specialty cocktails. Even the color of the kid’s mocktails and adult beverages can match the palette of your event. You can also offer yummy milkshakes and festive lemonades with LED-lit ice cubes.
Create an on-theme experience with your food displays. For example, a s’mores bar is the perfect addition to a camp-themed Mitzvah, while a sushi bar adds to an under-the-sea affair. Let Brooklake help you build your creative dream menu.
