I guess I don't have as much to say about Bat Mitzvah planning as I thought. Not yet anyway. My Temple is having a meeting of next year's Bat Mitzvah parents next week, and that's where we'll get the low-down, the rules etc. Fact is, in my book, rules were meant to be broken. And just when someone says I can't is when I figure it's time to get started. This is a new Temple for us, and some of

The best thing about planning a Bat Mitzvah for 2008 is how far technology has come since 2005. My favorite thing to do, when I indulge myself, is to look at invitations, plan the wording (since that's my thing), and play with fonts and colors. To me it's like an amusement park for my imagination...I just get on the ride and the fun begins! The best website I've found is Einvites, which is

It's not news that Bar and Bat Mitzvahs can get out of hand. Entrances on elephants, orchestras, meals worth hundreds of dollars per person, in my opinion, starts to outweigh the meaning and purpose.This is a religious rite of passage for our children. Children.Nonetheless, the big stuff is what gets all the attention and even accolades from some. I've read that even some gentile families put on

Stereotypes abound when it comes to the Bar and Bat Mitzvah hoopla, but the fact is, there's some truth, for some people, to much of it. I thought this invitation wording said it best!In keeping up with the Rosen's and the Abelson's, It is with great stress, emotional and physical fatigue,and incredible financial sacrifice beyond comprehension, that we invite you to join us as our wonderful

I can't take credit for this idea, or even the tag line, although I'd love to. A while back I came across a blog that chronicled the planning of a Bar Mitzvah. Well, it chronicled it for a week or two and then *POOF* it went the way of many good blogs, to Blog Heaven. But right there and then I realized that this is the perfect venue for obsessing and planning, since no one is as interested in
