Mitzvah Inspire: A “FRIENDS” Bat Mitzvah

Lisa Ivler, of Lisa Ivler Events, recently planned a FRIENDS themed Bat Mitzvah at Lulus in the W Hotel in Hoboken, New Jersey. Bat Mitzvah girl Shira may have been born after the iconic television series went off the air, but thanks to Netflix, she and her friends are, in one word– obsessed! This creative Bat Mitzvah theme featured the show’s famous Central Perk coffee house, funny character quotes and purple and yellow color scheme. Robin Hammer Design worked with Lisa to re-envision graphics and logos from the show. Flower Power Designs created tons of custom decor including decals, pillows, tables and photos, along with beautiful flowers, to bring this theme to life.

Shira's logo, created by Robin Hammer Designs, was inspired by the coffee house where the show's characters gathered

An oversized sign, using graphics and fonts reminiscent of the TV show, stood in front of the DJ booth

Shira's Bat Mitzvah cake featured Central Perk, the show's signature colors... and that classic FRIENDS picture frame
