I had the pleasure of working with Erin Schwartz, Owner and Cake Artist of Stacked at a recent Bat Mitzvah and was blown away by her creativity and talent. Seriously, you have got to see her cakes! They are edible works of art that taste and look great. I was so excited when she agreed to let me know more …
Alec’s family combined a rustic flair with a love for baseball, specifically the Chicago Cubs for his Bar Mitzvah party at Rocklands Farm in Poolesville, Maryland. The unique venue offered two locations for the party: a rustic barn where the kids spent most of their time and a tent on the grass where the adults ate their dinner. Then everyone …
I had so much fun working with Michael’s family for his Western-themed Bar Mitzvah in the Pony Express Room at the Bolger Center in Potomac, Maryland. This room was the PERFECT space for the theme. Michael had an unwaivering vision for the event and I think it turned out fabulously. Guests were asked to dress in the Western finest and …
A seating chart is a great way to tell guests where to sit. Unlike escort cards, a seating chart requires minimal set up (usually just an easel, though some are free-standing). When listing table assignments, you can either do alphabetically by guest’s last name or by table. Alphabetically is easier for your guests to find their names (so they won’t be standing …

He had one big request for the party… a sports theme with an emphasis on his favorite football team, the Baltimore Ravens. Our team knocked it out of the park (made a touchdown?) with a sophisticated look paired with fun, youthful elements. The …
It’s always the best when a client wants to work with you again for their younger child’s Bar Mitzvah! A few years back I’d worked on older brother Sammy’s Bar Mitzvah and now it was Oliver’s turn. Ollie wanted something fun, laid back and casual. B’nai Israel was the perfect backdrop for a breakfast-themed party complete with guests in their pjs and …
Candles are a beautiful addition to any Bar or Bat Mitzvah. They add a warm glow to any room and there are so many ways to incorporate them into your Mitzvah decor or party. A word of warning though–I always use LED candles in the tween area. You can never be too safe with unsupervised tweens and fire! In honor …
Are you agonizing about making a decision for your child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Here’s some planning advice that will make you stop in your tracks: Your guests don’t know what you didn’t do. Only what you did. Let that sink in. You and your planner are the only people in the room who know what you decided to cut …
I had the pleasure of working with Spencer “Spinny” Johnson of On The Ball Spinny at a recent Bar Mitzvah and all I have to say is wow! Spinny’s specialty is interactive basketball tricks of all types which added so much fun to the party. He had both kids and adults (and even grandma!) playing basketball games, spinning basketballs on fingers, juggling …
