This past weekend we had the privilege of setting up the centerpiece and balloon decorations for Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah party in Buffalo Grove, IL. The theme was da Chicago Bears’ football! The party participants were greeted at the place card table with this “name” centerpiece.
Two different sized Chicago Bears football themed centerpieces decorated the tables, along with matching balloons. There were one level centerpieces with a picture of one of Daniel’s favorite players.
As well as two-level centerpieces, again with pictures and names of favorite players. The two level centerpieces also have a Chicago Bears’ bag as a base.
During the celebration party this Chicago Bears football theme candle lighting was a hit!
We will have a video up on YouTube within a few days with room shots and other centerpieces from Daniel’s party. Look for it soon!

This video by A-BnC Parties and More, Inc. demonstrates how to construct a do it yourself music guitar cut out for your musical theme party centerpieces. The guitar is accented with guitar strings made from black yard, heavy black card stock and clear push pins. Judy shows how to take a plain white polystyrene guitar cut out, paint and add these lovely accents. She puts it on another budget “Just Add Sand” centerpiece base and accents with two pieces of onion grass. Add balloons, a table name and table place cards for an economical music guitar theme centerpiece for your Bat Mitzvah, Bar Mitzvah, wedding, special event or party!
Information about kits and supplies available at the Music Theme page of her do-it-yourself-centerpiece Website.
We found a May 29th blog posting of a beach party theme bar mitzvah at Beautiful Blooms Floral and Decor Blog. This picture of beach balls hanging from the ceiling and light show present an unusual décor touch.

I found this article by Rabbi Dara Frimmer in the JewishJournal.com on June 24, 2009. She discusses the why’s and the what’s of selecting a mitzvah project. This is an important part of this life cycle event when a young woman, or young man, transitions to Jewish adult life. A mitzvah project Rabbi Frimmer says:
“…reminds us that the celebration of the bar/bat mitzvah student amid centerpieces, flowers and balloons is not only a celebration of age and accomplishment but also a celebration of his/her capacity to heal the world.”
Later she continued: “Saying ‘thank you’ for all of life’s gifts won’t fit into the last few paragraphs of a student’s d’var Torah. At the moments when we are most aware of our blessings, mitzvah projects help us to concretize our feelings of gratitude through service to others. Sometimes, words are not enough; we need to act.”
As well as two-level centerpieces, again with pictures and names of favorite players. The two level centerpieces also have a Chicago Bears’ bag as a base.

Congratulations and good work!
