Bar Mitzvah Invitations
Everything
you need to know for scoring standout party invitations.
Starting a buzz about your child's Bar Mitzvah begins
with stellar invitations. As the centerpiece of your party's
stationery, the invitation reflects the tone of the Bar
Mitzvah, whether it's black-tie formal or a fun, kids-only
fete. An invitation will have several pieces: the outer
envelope, the inner envelope, the invitation, a reception
card (if the party is held at a different venue than the
temple), and a response card with a self-addressed, stamped
envelope. Printed maps and information on hotels is often
also enclosed. If you've already decided on a Bar Mitzvah
theme now is the time to introduce it. Use a specific
color or motif -- and simply apply it to each piece.
Party Pointer: For efficiency and cost-effectiveness,
strive to order all your stationery needs from the same
place, and, ideally, at the same time.
INVITATIONS
Traditional:
There is no rule of thumb when it comes to Bar Mitzvah
invitations. But, a heavy card stock, cotton, or linen
paper in white or ecru, and engraved with black or charcoal
ink is always a safe and sophisticated choice. Using block
lettering or a simple italic for boys will give the invitation
a more masculine feel, and for girls, a calligraphed text
will err on the feminine side.
The Twist:
Kids today are moving away from the standard invitation
and using papers in unusual sizes, colors, and even exotic
materials like rubber, metal, and fabric. You can also
be waste-conscious by using less formal invites and forgoing
the unsealed inner envelope (originally used to protect
the invitation from the elements when mail was hand-delivered
and would otherwise have arrived in shoddy shape).
What to Write:
Make sure you include the basics: who, what, when, where,
and why. You may also want to incorporate Hebrew on the
invitation. The most common method is to write the child's
given Hebrew name underneath his English name. Also, ask
your stationer about including Bais Hey in the
upper right hand corner of the invitation. These Hebrew
characters signify a traditional blessing. For a more
religious service you may want do a double-sided invitation
where one side is written in English and the other in
Hebrew.
Party Pointer:
For divorced parents, the mother's name can be written
first, with the father's name beneath on its own line.
Sample text:
It is with great pride and joy that we invite you to join
us as our son
____________ [Child's first and middle names]
____________ [Child's Hebrew name]
Is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah
Saturday, February tenth [day of the week, month, and
date of service]
at ten o'clock [time of service] in the morning [time
of day]
Tremont Temple [name of synagogue]
Seventy South Washington Boulevard [address of synagogue]
Scarsdale, New York [city and state where Bar Mitzvah
will take place]
Karen and Mark Birnbaum [proper names of those hosting]
Kiddush luncheon to follow [or Reception, if held at night
or in another location]
Trend Alert:
For Bar Mitzvahs, lime green and chocolate-brown is in.
Or go with a traditional blue and pair it with chocolate-brown
or other earth tones. We're also seeing a trend toward
patterns as a layer or envelope liner.
When to Order/Send:
Invitation orders should be placed three to four months
before the Bar Mitzvah date. The sooner you order them,
the more time you'll have to proof them, make any changes,
and address the outer envelopes (a calligrapher, for example,
requires up to two weeks to address 100 invitations).
The most common time to send out invites is six weeks
before the party, though eight weeks is ideal (10 weeks
for guests coming from abroad).
REPLY CARDS
Traditional:
Reply cards often ask each guest to check a box letting
the host or hostess know how many people will attend the
Bar Mitzvah's ceremony and party. A date for the return
of the reply card is essential.
The Twist:
Because so many people have dietary concerns, many Bar
Mitzvah reply cards now include menu options so that guests
can check off what they wish to eat that day, and so the
caterer can be fully prepared for the number of vegetarian
or alternative meals needed.
Trend Alert:
Personalizing your child's postage stamps will make a
lasting impression. Try a site like PhotoStamps.com and
use a photograph, monogram, or a logo in the same color
as the invitation for postage that will wow your guests.
RECEPTION CARDS
Traditional:
If the Bar Mitzvah is being held in the evening or at
a location other than the synagogue, these small cards
are included in the invitation. These are also a great
option if your child is having a kids-only party, in which
the same people will not be invited to the service and
the reception. The reception cards will include the celebration
date, place, and time.
The Twist:
If you went with a more formal invitation, take this opportunity
to really showcase your theme. Use baseball-shaped cards
for a Bar Mitzvah with a sports theme. The key is to make
this portion of the invite a little more fun and playful.
Even something as simple as whimsical fonts, a motif,
or a monogram can help set the tone.
THANK-YOU CARDS
Traditional:
These notes are used to thank guests for their gifts and
presence at your child's Bar Mitzvah, and usually feature
your child's monogram. This daunting task is a by hand
necessity.
The Twist:
Our favorite idea is to send a picture card or postcard
featuring a fun photo of your child from the Bar Mitzvah.
Check out photo websites such as Shutterfly.com or KodakGallery.com
for more photo ideas.
When to Send: Ideally, thank-you notes should be
sent out within two weeks upon receiving any gifts before
the Bar Mitzvah day. For those who brought gifts to the
Bar Mitzvah, thank-yous should be sent out within a month.
