The below “Best Bar Mitzvah Invitation” ever has been circulating around the internet for years. If you are in the throws of planning your child’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah, it will certainly make you laugh.
We wish we knew who to credit for this creative work, but a Mitzvah Market reader forwarded it to us.
Enjoy!
It is with great stress, emotional and physical fatigue and incredible financial sacrifice beyond comprehension,
that we invite you to join us as our wonderful son
Jacob Adam
is called to the Torah as a Bar Mitzvah
Saturday, May 12th – (yes we realize its Mother’s Day Weekend)
Temple Israel
14 Coleytown Road
Westport, Connecticut 06880
at the ungodly hour of 9 am
Even though you don’t really need to be there until 10:20am to catch the real action
If you make it through the 3 hour service,
please skip the kiddush (it’s just cookies and cake)
and join us instead for the ostentatious evening meal (Kosher, my husband’s idea),
which starts at 7 PM, (not 8 PM or you will miss out on the 2000 canapés)
Birchwood Country Club
25 Kings Hwy S
Westport , CT 06880
(Which we had to join just for this event and you would not believe the initiation fees)
Please have the courtesy of showing up if you RSVP that you are
attending, or you will be billed for $210.00 a plate if you are a
no-show. Please RSVP as soon as you get this and not the day before the
cut-off date. I can’t take the stress
The gift of choice is either green, or contains a routing and account number
Hope you can make it! Lisa and David Miller
Dress: Black Tie optional
