Planning a Bat Mitzvah is no easy feat. One has to consider literally everything from bathroom decor and accoutrements to ceiling spot lights and amplifiers.

But the one thing I want to address is the cost of centerpieces. Did you know that party planners charge a fee of $225 per table? In fact, that is simply to “dress” it up vs. the cost of the actual piece. So I decided, rather than purchase a piece and spend the money to decorate- I’ve decided its easiest to just ask 10 good looking people to pose atop the tables in fancy clothing, holding flowers.
