Cinco de Mayo Themed Bar Mitzvah

The Bednoff family celebrated their son Aidan’s Bar Mitzvah at Main Line Reform Temple in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania and their celebration at the Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. When the family first learned of their son’s Bar Mitzvah date, May 5, 2018 they immediately knew they were going to embrace Cinco de Mayo or in this case a Cinco de Aidan theme. Bold colors, a mariachi band and great food rocked this fiesta Mex Mitzvah.

Mom To Mom Advice From Mom Leigh

“As far as the date… Aidan’s birthday is May 22nd and when looking ahead at the calendar to send requests dates to Temple, May 5th was the one that worked best for our family. We immediately knew if we got it, we were going to embrace the Cinco de Mayo theme. And when the letter arrived confirming May 5th, we were so excited! Being the end of the Mitzvah season, we wanted to do something a little different because the kids have been to so many throughout the year. So what’s better than doing a “Mexican inspired” Bar Mitzvah to be a little different. Aidan was so excited and talked about his own ideas and thoughts since we received the date 3 years ago.”
