A Few of the Most Popular Bar/Bat Mitzvah Themes
Deciding your child’s mitzvah theme is an important part of the planning process. Not only is it a way for them to express themselves and feel that their party is fully customized to their interests, it’s also the first thing your guests will see when they walk through the door and what you can plan the rest of the night around! In our almost two decades of providing entertainment for mitzvah families at their event, we’ve seen a wide variety of bar/bat mitzvah theme ideas, but a few stick out as what have been the most popular over the years and the most widely used.
Here are just a few of the best bar/bat mitzvah themes we’ve seen:
1. Sports
Sports is maybe one of the most popular themes we see, especially for bar mitzvahs. While you may think it could be overplayed, it’s the level of customization you can have with it and the variety of sports and teams, that allows it to be unique for each event! With this theme, we’ve seen everything from team centerpieces to jerseys for the guests and entertainers to dancefloors decorated to look like football fields, hockey arenas used as venues, and much more! This theme can easily influence other aspects of your event, like invitations, party favors, food, props, and decorations throughout the party. It also gives you a great reason to bring in “arcade” type games like air hockey or foosball, which not only goes along with the theme but provides more entertainment for the kids!
2. Color
Everyone has a favorite color and what better way to showcase that than at your mitzvah! This theme may seem simple, and while it can be, it can still be just as fun as the others! Having a simpler theme may mean the more you’re able to do with it. For instance you can easily incorporate it into almost any aspect of the party. Invites, party favors, outfits, logo design, and party decorations.
3. Name/Word Play
This theme really allows you to get creative and personalize the event to the guest of honor. The theme is typically a common phrase but is given a special touch with your child’s first name, last name, or initals. Below are just a few of our favorites and some of the most clever ones we’ve seen!
The best part of planning your child’s mitzvah and choosing a theme is that there are no rules and no limits to what you can do! If they can’t decide on just one theme and want a mixture of a few, go for it! If they decide on just one idea, really focus on it and make it the best it can be.
Just because these three themes are some of the most popular does not mean they are the only ones you can choose from. Ask your child what they’d like and go from there. After all, this day is truly about them, and what better way to celebrate than to include all of their favorite things.
