A “Greyt” Sports & Tailgate Themed Bar Mitzvah

A “Greyt” Sports & Tailgate Themed Bar Mitzvah

The Goldberg family from Rye Brook, New York, celebrated their son Greyson’s Bar Mitzvah on May 28, 2016 at Temple Shalom in Greenwich, Connecticut, with a Kiddush luncheon following services. Later that evening, there was a party in Greyson’s honor at West Rock in Nanuet, New York.

The theme was centered around Greyson’s name and favorite sports, football and hockey. The family wanted a casual party with the feel of a backyard BBQ within the indoor space. Mom Leslie owns Out of the Box NY, an invitation and accessories company, so there were many “GREYT” details, starting with the custom invitation.

Invitation and Service

The custom invitation was created by Greyson's Mom Leslie, owner of Out of the Box NY. The football textured invitation arrived in a turf lined box and set the tone for the party

Greyt Decor and Party Details

The “GREYT” decor was proved by Debbie’s Designs.

The tables were all picnic tables, which added to the backyard picnic feel
All cocktail tables were covered in either footballs or turf
Market lights hung from the ceiling

Greyt Branding

Mom Leslie was very creative incorporating Greyson’s name into the party.

Video Candle Lighting 

Greyson's sisters sang a song to him from Hamilton and there was a video candle lighting. Greyson's candle lighting was pre-recorded, which kept it moving much faster. They used the G2 bottles instead of candlesticks
