Ideas for Bar Mitzvah Invitation Wording

Send Custom bar mitzvah invitations to celebrate this special event. Handwritten invitations and tastefully designed cards will impress your guests. 

What, then, should you include in the invitation or card for your bar or bar mitzvah? We have compiled this useful list of invitation wording choices, ranging from brief and sweet to humorous and encouraging. The honoured youths will likewise feel great and prepared to take on the world after these! 

Please describe the day in full, being sure to include: 

• • The name of the adult-to-be:

    Use a big and/or bold font to draw attention to the name. If you'd like, you can also include their middle name. 

• The names of the parents. 

• Ceremony information:

  Please let people know when and where the Torah reading will be held. Extra information, including parking details and the entrance to use, can be added as well. (Especially for your older relatives, you should make this paragraph as plain as possible.) 

• Details about the reception:

  Make sure to mention the exact start time and address of the event if you intend to carry on the bar mitzvah celebration at a different venue or the parents' house. If the after-party is just for close friends and family, you might want to send out two separate Custom bar mitzvah invitations. 

• What to wear:

  To let your guests know ahead of time about any clothing requirements or restrictions—especially those who aren't Jewish—it's helpful to include a dress code in your invitations, regardless of how formal or casual the event will be. 

• RSVP request:

  You should probably let the food company and event locations know how many people will be attending the party. That being said, give people three or four weeks before the event to respond with an RSVP. Because of this, you and your visitors will have more time to prepare. 

• Etiquete:

  If you are entertaining non-Jewish visitors, be sure to include vital instructions regarding bar or bat mitzvah etiquette. For instance, guests should be informed that they are not allowed to snap pictures during the ceremony and that yarmulkes are required. 

What to include on bar mitzvah save the dates

A bar or bat mitzvah save the date card is the formal invitation. Custom bar mitzvah invitations are usually sent two or three months in advance, but sooner is preferred if many guests would travel from out of town.

Promote your son's special day with this perfect save-the-date card. This phrase might work well on a photo-focused flyer such as the "Banner Photo": 

We hope to see you at Justin’s upcoming bar mitzvah!

Sending out save the dates doesn't necessitate knowing every little detail of the bar mitzvah. The only details that are required are the ceremony's location, the date, the name of the child, and, if available, a link to a gift registry. 

Bar mitzvah invitation wording

The bar mitzvah for your soon-to-be man should be a reflection of him and the occasion, if you are his parents. Include the essentials (time, place, and date), but don't be afraid to inject some of your son's character into the invitation as well. Here are some sample Custom bar mitzvah invitations words to help you get it perfect. 

Bar mitzvah formal invitation wording 

In keeping with the custom of wearing suits and ties to a son's bar mitzvah, a timeless invitation design, such as Bernard Maisner's majestic 'Flourish 2', and verbiage that exudes authority are ideal. 

 Bar mitzvah semi-formal invitation wording

Dress elegantly, but without the stuffy ties, for a semi-formal gathering. Choose the "Momentous" invitation style and use less formal language that is as friendly and approachable as your future host. 

The whimsical "Lucky Number" invitation from Kate Spade New York, along with the following wording, would be perfect for a contemporary B-mitzvah:

Conclusion

We were looking for ways to reduce the overall cost of the wedding by avoiding some of the more significant outlays. The concept of a website that allows users to design and send their invitations at a reduced cost came to fruition. We initially set out to replace the expense of sending out invitations, but as we began to design and construct the site, we saw that it had a lot of potential for much more.
