“Allie In Wonderland” Themed Backyard Bat Mitzvah

Melisa Imberman from The Event Of A Lifetime tells Mitzvah Market that this family was originally going to celebrate with a large party at a venue, but due to COVID the location was changed to their house so it could be outdoors and they could have more guests. They were excited to be able to carry out their original theme of “Allie In Wonderland.”

At the time of this Bat Mitzvah celebration, you were only permitted to have 25 people at a social gathering at a private residence in New York so the decision was made to have a party for 25 during the day and then 25 in the evening.

The day started with Allie’s service at Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester and was attended by immediate family and close friends with many others on Zoom. As the family made their way back to the house for a daytime Tea Party, waiting guests watched Allie’s montage and took pictures with a virtual photo booth. Later that night there was a nighttime dance party for Allie’s friends.

All photos were shot by Chad David Kraus Photography and all logos were designed by Party Logo Design.
