“Chill Out” B’nai Mitzvah Family Spotlight

The Ryder and Ohel families celebrated their daughters’ B’nai Mitzvah together. Chloe Ryder and Becca Ohel’s celebration took place at the Marriott Lincolnshire Resort, Illinois.

The two families celebrated both the service and party together with a “Chill Out” theme. Mom Jill Ryder works for M&M, The Special Events Company, specializing in designing Mitzvah décor for clients.

Mom Jill and Mom Shoshana collaborated from start to finish with many unique touches. Every detail was thought out!

Ryder Ohel seating

These families got very creative for their place cards. They used Ice Breaker mints with custom labels. The place card table was at the entrance to the ballroom. Once guests picked up their place card they entered a draped tunnel complete with light-up icicles and hanging crystal chandeliers 

 Ryder -Ohel place cards

 Each Ice Breaker had a custom label with the guests’ name and table assignment. Creative table names included: “Frozen,” “Glacier,” and “Chillin”

Ice Baby: Chloe and Becca

For the girls grand entrance, Xpress Video produced a great music video parody to, “Ice Ice Baby.”  Also, the girls recorded a song with their own words to the tune of “Count on Me” that played during the montage section of the girls together

Some advice from Moms Jill and Shoshana:
“We are great friends and after some wine came up with the idea to have our girls’ Bat Mitzvah together. Two great minds that didn’t stop brainstorming (and yes lots of wine!). While the girls were bonding with the Rabbi, the moms had so much fun planning this amazing event. Mom Jill works for M&M The Special Events Company and specializes in designing Mitzvah décor for clients. So when it came to our party, we knew we had to pull out all the stops. Along with my expertise and Shoshana’s very clever ideas; together we were a great team, and it made the process lots of fun!”
