We just got home from a Bat Mitzvah party. It was the first one I have ever been to and all I can say is "Wow!" That is one hell of a party. Kevin and Mark are both wanting to be Jewish now. Obviously their very short memories have already forgotten about the 2+ hour service that lead up to this amazing party, but...
This party was pretty incredible. Probably more impressive than most weddings I have been to. Mostly because of the amazing stuff that they had for the kids (which the adults benefitted from as well). First -- two separate cocktail hours -- one for the adult in one room and a "mocktail" hour for the kids in another room. The adults had adult food and drinks and the kids had Shirley Temples, mini weanies, pizza bagels, etc. Then, when cocktails were over we were all in one room (kids still sat at separate tables -- a bonus for a mom and dad of 4!). The kids had their own buffet for dinner and the adults had a sit down dinner. While the adults ate the kids were entertained by a DJ who had all kinds of hats, glow things, etc. for the kids, trivia games about the "Bat Mitzvah girl", line dances, etc. And the most fun of all (in my humble opinion) was the photographer who took pictures of whoever wanted and put them in fun frames for them to take home. We walked out of there with a very embarrassing number of pictures (we look like a bunch of egomaniacs we had so many pictures taken!). The kids also got amazing goodie boxes with boxer short that say "Hannah's Bat Mitzvah 3/14/09" and all kinds of other treats. There was an ice cream sundae bar, cookies and chocolates on the tables... and then cake! YIKES! My kids may never come down off the sugar high (not to mention what THAT did to my waistline!).
Anyway... do you blame the boys for wanting to be Jewish?
When I think of the price tag for that party, I, for one, am glad we are not!
