Finalize the dates and times of the ceremony and celebration. You'll need to discuss this with your rabbi or the administrator of your congregation well in advance, since some dates may not be available or appropriate for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.

The next one is set the budget. Setting the budget is important in making your guest list, as well as the location and the kind of party you may opt to have.

Determine the size of the celebration. Will you ask just family and congregation members? Friends from your child's school? Out-of-towners? Make the list (don't forget to consult your child), and review it several times to be sure no one has been left out.

The tedious task of selecting the food and choosing the right kind of entertainment overpowers the aspects of date, time and budget. You need to delve deep into details. The article from ehow.com continues to provide some helpful advice.

Reserve the location where the celebration will be held. The synagogue or Jewish Community Center may have a hall that can be booked for these occasions, or consider a banquet room at a local hotel, restaurant or conference center.

Decide what sort of food and beverages you'll provide. Will the celebration include a full sit-down meal? Finger foods? Alcoholic drinks? Get estimates from a few different caterers if you plan to have a fully catered party.

Following this helpful tips will surely make your child's bar or bat Mitzvah's celebration truly momentous.
