Different forms of Bar/Bat Mitzvah Entertainment

There are many entertainment options you could consider, depending on your budget. Whatever you do, remember to choose a good balance of entertainment for the different ages of your guests. At a mixed age party, which the vast majority of these events are, you don't want all of the entertainment geared toward the kids no more than you want to entertain the adults, only, and leave the kids sitting bored at their tables. Some of the options you will consider include:

• Hiring a band versus a Dj

• If you hire a Dj, you can hire them to entertain the kids with games during the adult cocktail hour.

• Casino games for the kids during the adults cocktail hour.

• Dance party games for the kids to play during the cocktail hour.

• Arts and crafts tables to amuse younger children throughout the party.

• Will the Dj be there exclusively for the amusement of the kids or should they gear some of their entertainment to the adults as well?

• The Dj can be part of a large entertainment group that includes an emcee and dancers to amuse the kids. They may give out prizes for games and dancing throughout the party.

• You can hire a caricaturist to do caricatures for the kids and/or adults at your party.

• A photo station to send guests home with framed photos or key chains.

• A music video booth with karaoke to send kids home with their own DVDs.

• Gaming systems with projection screens around the room for multiplayer fun.

• TV screens for a live video feed of the party.
