Just over a week ago we were privileged to design, assemble, deliver and set up these cookie theme centerpieces for a Bar Mitzvah party celebration event.
We also produced the centerpiece table signs and custom Bar Mitzvah place cards (sample shown below).

We uploaded this YouTube video. I think it shows the impact a beautiful arch can make to a party or event as a focal point. It was our first double name balloon arch in letter balloons.
I really didn’t know how it would work out or whether it would look good. The ceiling in the party room was exceptionally high. We inflated the balloons and assembly the arch in the kitchen hallway. I admit I had some trepidation when the fishing line got tangled going through the doorway. But Mikey sure made it work!
Dave Choate wrote on Friday at Seacoastonline.com an article called: “Girl gives handmade menorahs to elderly.”
In it, he writes: “On the eve of Hanukkah, one Stratham girl brought icons of the holiday to those who otherwise would have gone without.”
Rachel Presenting a Menorah
“In preparation for her June bat mitzvah, the Jewish rite of passage into adulthood, seventh-grader Rachel Salzman of Stratham has spent hours creating painted wooden menorahs for the region’s elderly…In all, she’s created 30 to give to residents of assisted-living facilities and nursing homes in the Seacoast. ”
We think this was a great Mitzvah project and hope you gain inspiration for it. Read the rest of the story, including warm appreciations from many of the recipients.
We added a new page on lamination cut outs to our site. A-BnC Parties can clear laminate a furnished picture, graphic or other art work for your do it yourself centerpiece. Then we mount it on a piece of rigid 3/4” polystyrene. We will custom cut out the photo as well as the backing piece. Most pieces are mounted on both sides and we accommodate reflected images. Use for a Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Bar Mitzvah Centerpiece, Wedding or other party centerpiece.
Laminated Waveboard Rider
If you go down to two blogs prior to this one, you can see how an 8″ x 10″ supplied picture can be laminated and glued onto a sturdy polystyrene support.
We added some do it yourself ice cream theme centerpiece cut outs suitable for all kinds of delicious looking ice cream aficionados. Shown here on our “Just Add Sand” centerpiece bases. Each comes cut out of rigid polystyrene in white so you can decorate as desired with almost any kid of water based paint.
Ice Cream Banana Split Centerpiece
Mikey’s favorite is the banana split (left), shown here with an ice cream cone and a bar. Also available is the ice cream sundae (right).
We wanted to share a formula for some cute centerpieces we helped put together for a Halloween themed bat mitzvah party a just a few weeks ago.
Use these construction techniques to decorate your party with attractive centerpieces. Support a stick or flexible plastic tube by gluing onto a piece of styrofoam or wood. Insert into your base (here a plastic jack-o-lantern) and glue. The base can also be a shopping bag, small box, decorated box, theme box (i.e. computer), etc. Camouflage with some tissue or mylar paper. Add a large picture (or other theme piece) at the top mounted to a rigid piece of cardboard or polystyrene and attached to the stick or flexible plastic tube.
Add theme related garnishments – here we used leaves, scarecrows, dried flowers, etc. Or it can be anything complimenting the theme you select.
