According to Jewish law, when Jewish children reach the age of 13 years for boys and 12 for girls they become responsible for their actions, and "become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah" (English: Son (Bar) or Daughter (Bat) of the commandments). In many Conservative and Reform synagogues, girls celebrate their Bat Mitzvahs at age 13, along with boys. Prior to this, the child's parents hold the responsibility for the child's adherence to Jewish law and tradition and, after this age, children bear their own responsibility for Jewish ritual law, tradition, and ethics and are privileged to participate in all areas of Jewish community life.
Here is Mia's Inspiration/Design Board: The major inspiration is an Izze Soda Label...
When Mia and her family discussed the special day they knew that they wanted it to take place at the camp that Mia's family owns and runs on a lake in Maine. They wanted to make it a weekend event ending with a dinner in the Camp's dining hall. When asked what she wanted for her special night, she said she wanted a nightclub feeling. When I think of a thirteen year old's dream nightclub, I envision lots of lounge seating and lighting. I pick a color palette of bright pinks and oranges, and polka dots. My inspiration was my Izze Soda Label. I am bringing in a lighting designer to cover the ceiling with pink and orange paper lanterns, and have Mia's initials in gobo lighting on the dance floor. There will be lots of lounge seating accented with polka dot pillows. The round tables will be covered with bright linens and the centerpieces will be cakes with polka dot themes. Escort cards will be Izze drinks in pink and orange. The Menu is being created by my favorite guys at Course Catering. We are going for a traditional tapas meal with a few unique and fun dessert stations. One station to celebrate "camp" with S'mores, a celebration of Florida, where Mia and her family live "off season", with a sundae station and a secret station to celebrate the Night club Feel...
