I, like most millennials, was a big fan of the sitcom ‘Friends’. So, when a return client told me her
Gen Y daughter wanted to have a ‘Friends’ party for her bat mitzvah, well, hey, count me in!

Upon entering the venue, friends and family found their place cards, which introduced them to the
theme of the evening. And by the way…

Even the card box was thematic, with a personal ‘Friends’ style message from the Bar Mitzvah girl.

Partygoers were encouraged to leave a message for Marley on the giant M just outside the ballroom.

And a giant light-up sign left no doubt who was the star of this show!

The young adults’ area was designed to resemble the cafe where  ‘Gunther’ poured the java
and ‘Chandler’, ‘Ross’ and ‘Joey’ plotted their hijinx.

Specially designed Marley pillows made it all that more comfortable…

To watch episodes of the show streaming inside ‘Central Perk’.

Even the votives placed on cocktail tables throughout the venue were emblematic of the theme.

The centerpieces were giant light up signs of all the guest of honor’s favorite characters…

Surrounded by iconic objects from the show in the form of confetti. Oh. My. God, even Janice had
a table!

The yummy family-style Chinese food, provided by Tumblebrook Country Club, was enjoyed
with chopsticks wrapped in ‘Friends’-style Marley paper.

And friends got to take home these great sweatshirts, monogrammed with the Marley logo and
the date.

Easy! Done! Enjoy!

What little girl, obsessed with dance, would not love a Bat Mitzvah party filled with life,

After glide-stepping into the venue partygoers were struck by these classy (and flashy)
gold votives, which adorned the cocktail tables in the lobby.

Guests were invited to pick up their dance medals, which doubled as escort cards.

A sparkly gold-topped card box made for a colorful and elegant repository for gifts.

The centerpieces were all various forms of dance, from hip hop…

To polka to salsa and everything in between,  each featuring the party colors and
set atop a flowing pink tutu.

The guest of honor had a special spot set aside for her and a select group of true “party dancers”.

When the real partying began the ballroom was lit up with uplighting and both the party logo…

And the theme presented in monitors provided by Boppers Events.

A step-and-repeat, featuring the party’s logo and motto, made a perfect backdrop for picture
taking.

To help ease the strain on all those dancing feet, shocking pink ankle socks were provided.

Young adults received these great party favor bags with the date inscribed on them as a
keepsake.

All in all, it was a party worthy of a gold medal (with a pink ribbon of course!). Mazel Tov Talia!

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
