Moving Forward With Mitzvah Planning

Should you continue to plan your Fall/Winter Mitzvah?

Needless to say, planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah during COVID-19 has some very unique challenges. Many families have been left in a sort of a “holding pattern” where they are nervous about signing contracts and putting down deposits due to the uncertainty of what is to come over the next few months.

We get it! You are right to feel nervous about moving forward with your plans and you are not alone. Clients engaged in planning just about any type of event have shown their hesitation to move forward in the process.

But, venues are starting to re-open and vendors are adapting to the new normal. Our advice is to re-start your planning and begin moving forward – carefully. What follows are some important factors to consider.

Bar and Bat Mitzvahs that were scheduled for spring have already started rescheduling their events with their venues and vendors for fall and winter.

So often we see busy parents who don’t know what to do or where to start and with our current situation you may be feeling limited as to what planning you can do. However, now is a great time to get the ball rolling. Here are a few ways you can get started without leaving your home.

How much you’ll spend. How many ____ you’ll need.

Interview the guest of honor

Your child has worked so hard to reach this milestone. The celebration is the fun part and the planning should be too!

We love a party that reflects your tweens unique personality. So take advantage of your kids being home […]
