Stress-Free Bar Mitzvah Planning

Plan Ahead

This is an event you want to give yourself plenty of time to plan! Most venue rentals will allow you to visit and book their spot as early as a year in advance. Take advantage of this. Don’t delay. By booking early, sometimes you can even get some kind of early bird discount. If anting, you will get to choose whatever date you would like. 

The more you can get done in advance, the less stress you will have. Whatever can be done before the day of the event should be done. Don’t wait until the last minute while planning a Bar Mitzvah. 

Certain things might be an estimated number or cost, but you can still start planning! 

Hire a Great Team

Don’t plan an event alone! After deciding what your budget is going to be, you will want to choose what roles you will want to hire out. Don’t try and do it all yourself. There are certain things that should be left to the professionals.

Depending on the company or person you use, these roles can help to plan almost the entire event for you after you let them know what you desire. 

You will also want to make sure the venue team has what you need on the day of the event. Most venues will come with an on-site coordinator, security, and an av/tech role. Ask ahead of time to ensure that these roles are covered. 

Choose the Best Vendors
