Bat/Bar Mitzvah is an essential right of passage and in an important milestone in a young person’s life. Boys go through Bat Mitzvah at the age of 13 and girls are supposed to go through a Bat Mitzvah at the age of 12. Modern parents follow more flexible rules, adding a little fun to a religious ceremony. At SLICE, we have hosted and catered for several Bat/Bar Mitzvahs and believe entertaining entrances can be a great way to bring life to this party.
Here are some ways to make a grand entrance at your Bat/Bar Mitzvah:
- Bursting out of a cake
This is a great way to surprise people at your celebration and have fun at the same time. A giant false cake made from cardboard is suitable for this. It can be made at home as a weekend project. The cake design can be as elaborate or simple as you like. It’s a good craft project to build in anticipation for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah.
- Surrounded by cheerleaders
You can hire a cheerleading squad to dance around your daughter or son as they enter the party venue. They’ll cheer as your child crosses this milestone and becomes responsible for their own actions. Cheerleaders create a lively and entertaining atmosphere, which will keep all guests happy.
- Carried on a throne
Carrying a child on a throne to their Bat/Bar Mitzvah is a great way to make them feel special. They will enjoy being celebrated as a prince or princess on this special day. Relatives like fathers or brothers carry the throne on their shoulders, ushering a young family member into a life of responsibility.
- Riding a vehicle
You can bring a Bat/Bar Mitzvah child into a venue on a motorcycle, golf cart, scooter, or other such small vehicles. Make sure these vehicles are decorated according to your theme so they can fit in well. You can hire a professional motorcyclist to perform some small and safe stunts during the event.
- From behind a curtain
You can install a curtain or a screen at an entrance and shine a light on it. Their shadow will grow in size as the child approaches this screen or curtain until they break through it. This helps add some drama and mystery to the party. You can also use smoke generating machines to create a more mysterious vibe.
- Entrance for the shy child
Not all children are comfortable with a lot of attention. They would rather have a more discreet entrance. As the guest of honor, their comfort is your priority and there’s no need to cause unnecessary stress with a grand entrance. A great way to handle this is to hire dancers or musicians to take attention away from children. You can just announce your Bat/Bar Mitzvah child at the beginning of the show and let your entertainers handle everything else.
