Classy Bar and Bat Mitzvah Theme Ideas - Hylah White Special Events

Your child is growing up and it is time to plan the event that celebrates them becoming an adult. One of the most coming questions we get from a family planning a bar/bat mitzvah is: ‘What theme will be the most appropriate for my new young adult?’ You want to embrace childhood themes but honor the adult they are quickly becoming. To help solve this problem, we have come up with a few ideas for a Bar and Bat Mitzvah Theme that incorporate a child’s unique interests while still being classy.

Here are some Classy Bar and Bat Mitzvah theme ideas!

Classy French Affair:

For your child obsessed with the City of Light, pastries, fashion, Audrey Hepburn or travel; a classy French affair is a perfect fit! Enjoy bubbly (sparkling Cider) Macarons and have all guests practice their best french accent. Selecting the right venue is key for this theme to set the right ambiance. Kestrel Park has that classic French chateau feeling without needing much added expense on decor.

Old Hollywood Glam

Being from LA your child has likely had a first-hand experience of walking among the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and if they are anything like us - have a love of movies. Give your child the opportunity to feel like a star themselves with a Movie and Hollywood themed event. Dress up stations, custom movie posters, popcorn, concessions and directors chairs; this theme is sure to be a hit!

Starry Night Celebration:

Does your child have a love for the arts? We certainly do! For this theme, you can easily select your child’s favorite artist or piece of artwork and use your decor and activities after it. The below example was modeled after Van Gogh’s Starry Night using laser-cut stars, bright flowers, and art easels as the place cards. As an extra activity, you can invite Paint Nite and all your guests to participate in painting their own canvas as a take home and memory from the day.

Ballet Beauty:

For all our dancers out there. A Ballet theme Bat/Bar Mitzvah is a fun way to include a love of dance into this once in a lifetime experience. Soft Colors, Tulle, Ribbon and Vintage details help complete this look while sticks of rock candy make a sweet addition. Invite your guests to enjoy a classic ballet entertainment or invite them to join for a class all their own. This theme will dance it’s way into your child’s and all their guest’s memories.
