Baked By Meira Colorful Backyard Bat Mitzvah

The Weinstein family celebrated daughter Meira’s Bat Mitzvah in a very familiar place! There was “no place like home” as they decided the perfect venue should be their beautiful backyard.

The “Baked by Meira” theme, along with colorful pom pom decor, was thoroughly integrated by Mom Michal, a talented graphic artist and event planner. We think she had a hand in the weather too…it was perfect! We featured older sister Eliana’s Hollywood themed Bat Mitzvah a few years ago.

Pictured L-R:  Sisters Eliana and Reva, Bat Mitzvah girl Meira, Dad Jonathan, Mom Michal and Brother Jacob.

The photographer was HJ Photography by Jerry Meyer and the rest of the vendor information is listed at the end of the spotlight.

Mom Michal created the logo similar to the "Baked by Melissa" logo. It was used throughout the party including the dance floor decal

Bat Mitzvah Special Touches

The custom invitation came in a box and included information on the party, details of the Mitzvah Project bake sale along with an RSVP card. All designed by Mom Michal

What a great idea as a sign-in. Guests wrote messages to Meira on colorful circles and placed them in the memory box. At the end of night, a name was called out from the box and they won an iTunes card!

Colorful wraps were on hand to keep guests warm into the evening

Bat Mitzvah Project

Meira had a bake sale and raised $1,200 selling mini cupcakes for Kids of Courage. This organization is a groundbreaking volunteer organization dedicated to the support of sick children and their families, day and night, 365 days a year. Founded in 2008, Kids of Courage is committed to change the way people look at illness, and open up a world of support, hope and opportunity for every sick child and family, no matter how serious the diagnosis.

Some advice from Mom Michal:

“Be organized, start early, think outside the box. We were blessed with great weather, however doing an outdoor party is a risk…always have a plan B.”
