This is a very special occasion for a Jewish boy as he approaches manhood. This is the most important birthday that he will have as a young man so plan a party that matches the occasion. The invitations can be simple or elaborate, depending on your taste. The bar mitzvah boy can help decide the theme for his party. You might want a picture of him on the invite. Bar Mitzvah parties are usually held in a public place but can also be held at a home following the religious side of this celebration. The room is usually decorated with every bar Mitzvah as well as the colors of blue, gold, silver, and white. Themes could vary from sports (football, basketball), music (rock and roll, rap), cars, and tech (ipod, computer). The cake could to order to have a picture of the bar mitzvah boy on it or even a bust of him made out of ice if the funds permit. This party is much like a wedding with lots of good food, drinks, presents, dancing and fun. Other fun activities for the kids are dessert bars (where they can choose their own toppings), caricatures (drawn at the party), tattoos (fake of course) and a chocolate fountain where kids can dip their favorite dessert.
