Retro

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah Theme

Welcome Area

Fill the entry area with bright psychedelic balloons. 

On a table, have a VW bus photo op with the windows cut out for people to stand behind and take pictures.  You'll end up with great mementos from the party.

Have a lifesize cutout of the Bar Mitzvah boy or Bat Mitzvah girl in a retro/hippie outfit with a speech bubble welcoming guests.

Sign-in Area

Use one of our retro themed sign in boards - they have fabulous colors and truly goes with the theme. The wording on the sign …

Tune in, turn on, drop out -
but first leave a message for (Child's Name)!

Or have a personalized 3D sign in book for you child.

Have a bouquet of psychedelic balloons with a smiley face at this location.

Seating Card Area

The seating cards can match the graphic for the sign-in board with the guest's name and table number.  Attach the cards to neon peace sign necklaces.
 

Have a sign next to the seating cards that says:

Groove on over to your seat when you get a chance!
Psychedelic!!

Have more psychedelic balloons with a smiley face at this location too.

The Party Room

Cocktail Napkins: Have them imprinted with "Groove with (Child's Name)". Or use pre-printed disco or tie-dye cocktail napkins.

Tables:

• Use dark blue tablecloths and tie-dyed napkins.
• Decorate the tablecloths with 4' and 7" smiley face flower stick-on decals. Strew confetti made of ¾" mini-60's design erasers.
• Centerpieces/Adults: Use a retro van piñata or a peace buggy piñata with marbleized balloons, mylars, and latex
• Centerpieces/Kids: Mylar smile faces with sunglasses, etc., plus latex balloons

DJ/Band Backdrop: Have the Bar/Bat Mitzvah's name in lights with a psychedelic background

Personalized Cameras: personalized Bar and Bat Mitzvah cameras on each table to take pictures of your guests grooving at the seats!

Other options: votive candles (peace signs or flower power or miniatures of these), 60's retro paddle ball set inserted in each napkin, peace sign tattoos (great fun - easily put on with water)
