Ultimate B'nai Mitzvah Handbook
The Ultimate B’nai Mitzvah Handbook is a unique and multifaceted planning guide. It is equally as useful to the individual unfamiliar with Jewish traditions as it is to the individual planning their second or third child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebration. This book offers a beautiful, simple solution to organizing the months leading up to this most exciting and precious time when your child becomes a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
The Ultimate B’nai Mitzvah Handbook opens with an Introduction,
a Table of Content, a Timeline, Tips, and an Estimated Budget page.
The Table of Content and the Timeline are color coded making it
easy to flip through the book and quickly locate a particular page.
This first section of the handbook contains pages that you will
repeatedly reference during the planning process.
The book is divided into three sections, Events, Vendors and Guests.
The Events
- Many families plan more than one event for the weekend of
the Bar or Bat Mitzvah. This book allots individual sections
for the Ceremony, Friday Dinner, Friday Oneg, Saturday Kiddush,
Saturday Luncheon, Reception, and Sunday Brunch. Each page
is organized for you to add all pertinent information related
to that particular event. For example, if you are hiring a
caterer for the reception and a different caterer for the
brunch it is easy to keep the specific details in order.
The Vendors
- Before deciding on the photographer or the entertainment,
you may interview or receive quotes from several vendors.
This section of the book offers individual pages for recording
your research on the Bakeries, Caterers, Decorations, Entertainment,
Favors, Florists, Photographers, Reception Sites, Rental Supplies
and Videographers. These pages are set up to write estimates
for up to four vendors in each category. In addition, there
is plenty of space to add details that may be relevant to
deciding which vendor to use. Additional pages are interspersed
throughout the book providing a place for extra notes.
Guest Information
- This section of the book may be the most valuable, saving
you time and energy. Record and track all the pertinent details
for each guest. Included are pages for Invitations, Save the
Date cards, Sample text, Salutations, a Letter to non Jewish
friends, Candle lighting, Aliyot and other Honors, Out of
Town Guest Accommodations, Table Seating, Tentative Guest
list, Alphabetical Guest pages, and Master Guest list. This
enables you to keep all the guest information in one place,
from the first tentative guest list to the final thank you
note.
This elaborate workbook is an indispensable tool for anyone planning
a Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebration. Every practical and esthetic detail
was taken into account. The unique design features a spiral binding
with a hard back cover and a vinyl covered front, making it sturdy
yet light weight and easy to handle. Take it along when visiting
venues and talking with vendors. Write quotes and notes directly
into the appropriate pages. The same care and attention was given
to the design as well as to the functionality. Therefore when the
event is over and all the excitement subsides this book will hold
the memories of the moments leading up to the celebration and will
become a cherished keepsake. |
