Bar and Bat Mitzahs are not about the parties. It is the coming of age and reading of the Torah. I have been to many themed parties. One was a Purim theme, another a beach theme, and a "spring" one.

The coolest themed bar mitzvah i attended was a "Cinderella's Going to the Ball" theme. The invitations were hand delivered to us in white boxes and were printed on statin in pink with lace edging. The party was at the new tower of the Century Plaza Hotel right after it opened in the pink marble ballroom. It was black tie and we all wore floor length dresses (mine was my favorite it was pink floor length satin with a full skirt and lace trim).

She actually had a gorgeous carriage in the foyer that we took pix in and all of the servers were dressed in period. It was so cool!

I think it's a big thng here in Louisville because we have a semi-large Jewish community
And the weird thing about it is that some of these Jewish kids go to Christian schools
That's how I get invited to them
When I get an invitation in the mail, I'm always like 'Hmmm. . .'

Go figure!
