Mix and Match boho and modern décor for a Bat Mitzvah trend 2023

As November comes and goes, you can expect to find the Content Team at PartySlate busy scouring through real event albums, sending Slack messages, and posting one celebratory emoji after the next. For us, it’s not only a time to look back over our favorite events of the year, it’s also a time to predict the exciting new trends for the year to come. 

While I love every type of celebration found on PartySlate, I confess: I have a special place in my heart for Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties. I watched my nieces’ Bat Mitzvah parties unfold from single concepts to epic bashes — and I’ve been hooked ever since. 

Bar and Bat Mitzvah parties are a chance to celebrate one of the most important milestones for a Jewish family. These celebrations are known for their epic décor, showstopping entertainment, and the most creative trends. Keeping up with the latest trends is no easy task — especially for busy parents. With that in mind, we’ve done the work for you and gathered our top Bar and Bat Mitzvah trend predictions. From TikTok booths to curated menu suites, these trends promise to make your child’s milestone a wow-worthy success.

1. Kippot that Match Your Décor

While we love an epic party, the Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony is at the heart of this important milestone. By decorating the inside of kippot with your party themes and colors, you create a beautiful bridge between ritual and celebration.

We love how this surf-themed Bar Mitzvah party incorporated the party’s color scheme on the inside of each kippah. Make sure to see how the blue hues continued with an epic pool party complete with a blue dance floor and catering truck.

2. Mix & Match Your Favorite Party Styles

Take inspiration from your invitation suite, and bring the same thoughtful design to your reception menus. Your menus will not only please guests with their beautiful attention to detail, but they will also serve as a meaningful keepsake from your child’s celebration.

We love how this garden-themed Bat Mitzvah party incorporated a romantic color palette and floral motif into their menu design. See how the celebration also wowed with moss-laden tablescapes, floral linen, and a real-life garden setting.

Your teen will have as many reasons to toast as the adults in the room, so make sure the mocktails are just as delicious (and curated) as the cocktails.

We appreciate how this pretty in pink Bat Mitzvah party featured numerous beverages, all in the same color suite, for a party with the right amount of buzz.
