This party had a completely different feel than your usual crazy dancing, loud music type of mitzvah.
The main focus was what the man of the hour likes to do and how to make the adults and young
adults enjoy the party together.

The theme was games. Everywhere you looked were different activities for all ages.

As the adults arrived they enjoyed the first hour having some yummy appetizers made by
Farmington Gardens.

While enjoying a nibble or maybe a drink the guests could play a few games.

Bistro tables were adorned with all sorts of games for party goers to play.

Whether it was the popular children’s game Connect 4…

Or maybe a game you haven’t even heard of.

There were lots for all to do. If coloring was your thing, you could sit down at a table dressed up with
craft paper and create a masterpiece.

Young adults were invited to the main room for their appetizers and they, too, could partake
in all kinds of games.

There was a giant Jenga game to test your steady hand,

Foosball for those who enjoy a more active pursuit, 

Or an oversized Connect 4 game and Strike a Light all brought in my Boppers Events.

Guests could leave a card in the specially made box that looked amazing donning the
Scrabble-esque logo.

Each table was a different board game,

And the party goers could find their table assignment on giant score pads at the front of the room.

Every game you could think of from past and present was represented as a centerpiece on the
guest tables.

There was a photo station with a backdrop covered in Eli’s logo to create the perfect memory of
the event.

A mixed-aged trivia game created by the mitzvah boy’s father was a huge hit. And as the guests
left the party they were given a logo’d deck of cards. 

Well played Eli! Time to Rack-O it up.

Easy! Done! Enjoy!

This was such a beautiful event and I really enjoyed working with this family to bring their
vision to life. Parker is 13 and Chloe is 12 and the family thought it would be wonderful to
do their mitzvahs together.

We picked a color scheme of navy, coral, and gold that worked for both honorees.

As the young adults arrived they went straight into the main room and entered the specially
furnished funky lounge.

Photos of both Parker and Chloe were on display with amazing uplighting to accent the look.

The adults spent the first hour of the party in a separate room. There was a signature drink
enjoyed with a very creative sign. More photos of Parker and Chloe were on display throughout
the venue as fantastic decor elements.

Votives were placed all around with a “C” for Chloe…

Or a “P” for Parker.

And at various locations were throw pillows with a logo celebrating both guests of honor.

The adults had assigned seating and little gumball machines were utilized as place cards.

The centerpieces were large vases filled with mini paper lanterns and a giant lantern on top.

Spectacular photos of Parker and Chloe accented with gold sparkle numbers told guests where to
sit.  

The logo was used throughout the party…on cocktail napkins,

Drink coasters,

And on large screen TVs.

On a table in the main room was a gift box for cards.

Near the DJ station manned by Boppers Events were shelves of socks in various colors to put on so
everyone could dance in comfort.

Parker and Chloe did an amazing job honoring important people in their life during the Candle
Lighting Ceremony. The display was just perfect, showing off the theme colors of navy, coral and
gold, with a little sparkle to add an extra something.

After the Candle Lighting Ceremony, there was the traditional Mother/Son Father/Daughter dance.
However,  this was anything but traditional as they all broke out in a choreographed number that
had everyone on their feet cheering. What a great moment!

We used two chairs instead of a sign-in book for family and friends to leave a note or just sign their
name. Both chairs had initials that matched the logo and theme colors.

I had some much fun at this party. I put on a chef’s hat and wore a t-shirt with the event logo. I
took a tray around the room and served “Wicked Whoopie” pies for all to enjoy.  I think I
looked pretty cute too if I do say so myself. Whoopie Pie anyone?

As the young adults left the party they were given earbuds with the event logo and Parker and
Chloe’s names on them. They were a big hit!

Mazel Tov Parker and Chloe! 

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
