These are days meant for celebration: A Bat or Bar Mitzvah, a Sweet Sixteen party, and, of course, a wedding. Who can’t enjoy an event that signifies a quick moment in the journey of the lives of these individuals, a place to take pictures and marvel at where they are today?
But it’s important to know the cost you would spend for these events before jumping right in. Many of these events can cost thousands of dollars and everyone wants to make sure that these events, for their loved ones, will be remembered for years. Here are the details on the following events: Bat or Bar Mitzvahs, Sweet Sixteen parties, and lastly weddings.
Bat or Bar Mitzvah
The Bat or Bar Mitzvah is a coming of age event for Jewish girls and boys. The Bat Mitzvah is held for girls at the age of 12, while the Bar Mitzvah occurs for boys at the age of 13. These events have become more and more elaborate through the years, and the average event can run between $15,000 and $30,000.
Planning an event like this involves going over hundreds of details, which can include decorations and invitations and food. Many families choose to go with wedding and party rentals, which include mitzvah rentals, table rentals, and linen rentals. These options can be high quality. For instance, rental linens can be elegant pieces like table cloths, napkins, or sashes, which contribute to the decor of your event.
Sweet Sixteens
Sweet Sixteens run the gamut of formality. They can be extremely formal, semi-formal, or even casual, and range from small family parties to large events with DJs and locations in hotel ballrooms or even yachts. The cost can range from $300 to $25,000.
One option that makes a party stand out is LED furniture. It adds light and color in an original and fun way and can be used to create a lounge area, where individuals can hang out and enjoy the party while others dance or sit at tables. It’s one of the options available with wedding and party rentals, whose entire business is to make your party stand out.
Weddings
The cost people spend on weddings tends to vary by location. For instance, New York City weddings cost on average $70,000 while in Utah weddings cost $13,000. And the cost appears to be rising. The number of couples who budgeted over $1 million for their wedding doubled from 2011 to 2012. Here is one aspect of your wedding worth looking at.
