A Rodeo B'not Mitzvah Theme

Event planners Tracy Davis-Fox and Judy Davis of Party Artistry were asked to create a one-of-a-kind experience for a B’not Mitzvah. The team at Party Artistry transformed the traditional ballroom at the Hilton Short Hills in New Jersey, into a country-western inspired Mitzvah hoe-down. This was one amazing Brodeo, a play on the family’s last name.

Party Invitation/Place Cards/Menu

This engraved wooden invitation was sent in a crate of hay and set the tone for the upcoming party

When guests arrived, they were greeted by engraved wooden horse place cards

At each place setting, there was a menu in the shape of a cowboy boot

Party Decor

Party Artistry created a western village complete with Sheriff’s office, saloon, jail and a general store.

A stylish, rustic feel was achieved by using mismatched chairs, vintage plates and solid gold table linens to signify "The Gold Rush" era

The R&D Saloon named using the sisters' first initials was a popular hangout. Party Artistry also brought in rolls of wide plank faux wood linoleum flooring adding to the western feel

Guests loved the saloon-style brown wooden tables and galvanized light fixtures suspended from the ceiling

Some of the centerpieces were tall faux cactus with wildflowers in assorted containers

Other tables had cowboy boot centerpieces filled with dried wheat

The dance floor was wrapped in a photo of hay and dirt with the logo superimposed along with a rope like border

On the walls there was a combination of faux distressed wood,(corrugated paper), and feminine lace. There were a few seating options like this cozy lounge area with bales of hay
