Ski Themed Bar Mitzvah

The Chaiken family from Greenwood Village, Colorado celebrated their children Louis and Adam’s B’nai Mitzvah at Mile High Station in Denver, Colorado. Family and friends loved the L&A Power Daze ski theme with its great decor and special party touches.

Many of the party vendors were discovered by this family on Mitzvah Market including their entertainment company, who was flown in for the special occasion.

Mom Advice from Lisa

“Visualize your party with all of the details….then switch it up…think about different options and mix and match them until you get the right mix for you. Decide what you want to emphasize and where you want to spend money..or not! Take a step back and think about things from a distance- what really matters and what does not? What will you remember? Find out what matters to your child. Let them pick some elements for the party.”
