Preparing for the Bat or Bar Mitzvah requires careful planning to make the event memorable. Making the right choice when it comes to Bar & Bat Mitzvah furniture rental is key. And choosing quality pieces will leave a lasting impression on your guests, giving them a picture they will always remember.

Translated into modern English, “Bat” means “daughter” and “Bar” means “son”. “Mitzvah” stands for “commandment”. As per Jewish law, this means that the son. at the age of 13, or the daughter, at the age of 12, has now become a person who is entirely responsible and accountable for their actions. It is a rite of passage, and the first steps towards becoming an adult. As this is a life-changing event for everyone involved, it’s only natural that it is celebrated with a large ceremony, attended by relatives and close friends of the family.

In order to make the Bar or Bat Mitzvah more personal, a theme may be chosen that fits the personality of the son or daughter being honored. This may be as simple as decorating the hall in their favorite color or hanging up pictures of places that they’ve visited. The good news is that there are many different ways to make this day all about them.

Finding the Right Venue

You will also want to choose the right location to hold your event. It is a little-known fact that many banquet halls or other facilities are rented as-is, which means all you get is the space with no furnishings included. This is important to know ahead of time, so that there are no last-minute surprises. Should you need to rent furniture for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah, the sooner you do it, the better.

There are many things to consider when choosing the perfect furniture for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah. It goes without saying that you will need to know how many people will be attending so that you can be sure to have the right arrangements and pieces to ensure that everyone will be seated comfortably. Be sure to request RSVPs in your invitations, and keep an updated list of who is coming.

Know the exact size of the location, so that you can later calculate how many pieces of furniture you can comfortably place inside. This will play a huge part in deciding on the style and shape of the furniture you will need to rent. It is not only important to think about how many people the venue can contain — you have to make sure it can hold the furniture pieces required to seat all of them.

Choosing quality and style will show that you’ve taken the time to carefully select the furnishings. This will be rewarded by the stares of amazement that are sure to come from your guests the moment they walk in. As all of this planning is no small task, those are the reactions you hope to see.

This party is in honor of a young person. Therefore, you’ll need sturdy, yet attractive pieces in colors and styles to fit the occasion. It is quite fashionable these days for the venue to have bright lighting that is fun and creates an aura of youthfulness. If colorful lighting is being used, it might be wise to stick with white furniture that helps to reflect the light, rather than choosing other colors that may clash with it.

Alternatively, you can rent furniture that ‘glows’. These are great for color-themed parties, or just a way to create a unique ambiance. They provide a cozy, lounge-like feel and add a special touch to your event. There are many pieces that you can choose from, whether it is a glowing bar or just adding luminous end tables. Either way, it will be very distinctive and appealing.

Bar & Bat Mitzvah Celebration: Indoor or Outdoor?

Depending on the weather, your event can be indoors or outdoors, or maybe even a combination of both. You may wish to hold the official ceremony indoors, and then plan for the guests to sit outside afterward. Consider renting custom furniture that is not only beautiful, but also specially designed for outdoor seating.

It is quite possible to rent fashionable outdoor seating that does not resemble a traditional picnic table setting. An example of this is beechwood tables with matching chairs, which are both stylish and classy. Fireside sofas are elegant and inviting. Comfortable benches and other living-room style seating arrangements are a great choice for large outdoor spaces.

Seating placement also plays a key role. Knowing how to strategically place your furniture is as important as knowing which pieces you will need.

Extra large sofas can allow for more people to be seated comfortably together. Curved benches allow guests to better face each other and allow for more. Triangle benches fit in well to utilize space and close gaps between sofas and chairs. Stylishly matching tables are needed to place drinks and plates upon. A larger table can be placed to the side, and serve as a gift table.

Consider pre-packaged Bar & Bat Mitzvah furniture rental deals that represent a certain theme or provide groupings that work best to accommodate your guests. Know in advance how many of each setting you will need. The sooner you order, the more likely it’ll be that your needs can be accommodated for, especially when planning an event for a large amount of people. It will also be one more thing you can check off your list of things to do when making your preparations.
