If you're getting ready to celebrate a Bar Mitzvah, then now is the
time to begin reviewing some of those etiquette issues associated
with the big event. While some of these concepts may be familiar
territory, most of them should be reviewed before you send out Bar
Mitzvah Invitations Cards, to everyone you know. Plus, you may need
to know the information to help your other guests.
The purpose behind those bat bar mitzvah Jewish cards or bat mitzvah
invitations may be common knowledge to you but it may not be so
clear to some of your guests. You may want to explain to them that
this event can best be classified as a rite of passage. Jewish boys
and girls embark on this journey when they turn 13. However, the
specific date of the event can vary depending on how long the
child's religious education takes to complete.
Generally, there are two parts of a party: the synagogue portion and
the reception. While there are differences, the synagogue portion of
the event will usually involve the child reciting a portion of the
Torah. The amount recited will depend on the traditions of your
particular synagogue. If you have a daughter, she may not be
permitted to participate in this part of the celebration. However,
she may still be able to have a bat mitzvah (the female version of
bar mitzvahs).
When you send out the mitzvah card or Religious Invitations, be sure
to include your contact information so guests can contact you with
questions about what to purchase for your son or daughter. If you're
not sure how to respond, cash gifts, savings bonds, and gift
certificates are usually very nice presents. Often these are given
in multiples of 18 because of the number's significance to the
Jewish community. However, nearly any gift that would be appropriate
for a child of this age would make an excellent event.
The Bar Mitzvah Wording on Invitations
The only requirement for the Religious Invitations is that you
include the child's name, as well as the date and location for the
invitations religious portion of the event. It is customary to
invite friends and family members to both parts of the event.
However, non-Jewish guests may feel more comfortable only attending
the reception. That doesn't mean you shouldn't extend an invitation
to the first through your custom Bar Mitzvah Invitations Cards or
Religious Invitations, While the wording won't be too difficult, you
can always dress up the content of your printed Bar Mitzvah
Invitations Cards.
