Sign in boards are a part of every Bar/Bat Mitzvah. It is a commemorative item that conveys the guests’ well-wishes to the honoree, and something that he or she can cherish forever. But in this day and age, teens are looking for more than just a board with signatures on it. They want something unique that can be kept for a long period of time. Some of my favorite methods of transforming the sign-in board are:

The saying is that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” This is the reason why photography is an important part of every event; it captures the memories of your event so that you will always have reminders. These memories are even more important at Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, because capturing the rite of passage when a boy or girl becomes a young man or woman is significant to the entire family. And since videography came on the scene, events can no be captured in full play-back format rather than in photographed moments. But Mitzvah photography and videography have evolved over the years, as the tastes and styles of teenagers change and as technology improves.

“Stressed spelled backwards is desserts.” I recently came across this quote and could not stop thinking about this little piece of wisdom. How many of us have turned to chocolate and ice cream in order to brighten up our days? And don’t we always end our evenings with dessert? Dessert is also the ending to every stressful (but wonderful) event of our lives: our birthdays, anniversaries, bar/bat mitzvahs and weddings. In the event world, we have strayed away from the traditional wedding cakes, and even veered from the latest trend of event cupcakes. So, what direction has the dessert trends gone to in 2011?

Flowers are an essential component of every wedding. Through the floral arrangements and bouquets, guests get a sense of the couple’s personalities. While trendy wedding flowers change seasonally, the rose continues to be the most popular bouquet choice; Lilies, peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids represent the trendier choices. As the buzz from the Royal Wedding comes to an end, many people are looking at the couple’s wedding for trends and ideas.
