Sofia Levinson celebrated her Bat Mitzvah on February 4, 2012 at Space in Englewood, New Jersey.
Her theme was based around her middle name Rose. This creative Mom had many special touches and we thank them for sharing their celebration with our readers.
Sarah Merians was the photographer and the rest of the vendors are listed at the bottom of this spotlight.

Sofia’s invitation was created by Ecuamag and brought in from abroad. Once Sofia chose the paper, the invitation was created around it.
Guests could see Sofia’s logo on the stamp!
The girls in the Levinson family all looked great in their color coordinated dresses.
L-R: Maya’s dress was from Bobbi’s Golden Hanger, Mom Sara’s dress was custom made and Bat Mitzvah girl Sofia’s dress was from Party Girl
Elvira, who owns Space was also the party planner and had fun with color and “roses” to set the decor for this celebration.
See how pretty Space looked below:
Sofia’s logo was projected on the colorful walls all night!
Additional elements at Sofia’s celebration included:

Space provides the music entertainment as part of their packages. Sofia’s MC was Charlie who got the crowd rockin’!
A sign-in book filled with pictures of Sofia was created by Sarah Merians, their photographer.
Mom Sara created the below cupcake stand and made all the cupcakes herself!
Mom Sara called it a labor of love! Each color rose was a different flavor cupcake. Red, strawberry cupcake with a strawberry meringue frosting. Yellow: banana cupcake with chocolate ganage frosting. Orange: carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Teal: chocolate chip with mint frosting. Violet: vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. Pink, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting
The sweatshirt favors for the young guests were created by Creative Works Marketing.

Adult guests received mugs with coffee and a box of homemade candies by Mom Sara
Some advice from Mom Sara:
“I made sure Sofia stayed focused on what was important to us, which is her commitment to our religion. I made sure I did what was necessary on my end: contracts, invitations, dressing everyone etc. I made a schedule for myself for the last week since I was making so many things myself that needed to stay fresh. As for the party, I sat with Elvira and went through the concept of what we wanted. She did the rest. On the Thursday before the Bat Mitzvah, I showed up with the cupcakes and she showed up with the flowers at 1 pm. We looked at each other and knew we were on the same page. I left at 2 pm and came back on Saturday. I knew she got it and was going to take care of her end. It was gorgeous!”
Sofia did a three part Mitzvah Project. She worked during both soccer and basketball seasons with kids that have special needs through a program in their home town. She also participated as a helper in Challenger soccer and Challenger basketball. The third part of her project was to collect books for the Englewood Family Center. It is a non for profit that provides services to the community. They are in need of resources.
