Bar or bat mitzvah website template
A bar or bat mitzvah website for the service and the party.
A b'nai mitzvah weekend can include a Shabbat service, a kiddush lunch, an evening party with a separate kids' room, and guests traveling in. A clear page helps guests who have never been to one feel prepared.

Planning guide
What to include on a bar or bat mitzvah website.
Service details
The synagogue name, address, and start time. Note that services often start before the bar or bat mitzvah portion and that guests are welcome to arrive at the start.
What to expect
A short note for guests unfamiliar with the service: how long it runs, head coverings, and whether phones should be off on Shabbat.
Party information
Evening parties often have a different venue, dress code, and a separate space for kids. Spell each out.
Kids and teens
Say whether younger siblings are invited and what time teens should be picked up.
Travel
Many families travel in for the weekend. List a hotel within walking distance of the synagogue if guests observe Shabbat.
Sample schedule
How the day could run.
Give guests the time the honoree is expected to read, so relatives traveling with children can plan around it.

Wording tips
Say it clearly, and kindly.
Include the Hebrew name if the family wishes; it is a personal touch.
Noah Benjamin Levi, Natan ben David v'Rachel, will be called to the Torah as a bar mitzvah.
Write a short "what to expect" note for non-Jewish friends. It makes them feel welcome rather than unsure.
Give teens their own clear line about the party.
Teens: the lounge opens at 7:30 PM. Parents, pickup is at 11.
Questions, answered
Bar or bat mitzvah website FAQ.
How early should we share a bar or bat mitzvah website?
Six to eight weeks before, or with your printed invitations. Out-of-town guests appreciate hotel details even earlier.
Can the page cover both the service and the party?
Yes. Most families put both on one page with separate times, addresses, and dress codes.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. Publishing costs $20 once and keeps the site live for a year.
What should guests wear?
For the service, guests usually dress as they would for any religious service, and head coverings are often provided at the door. Evening parties set their own dress code, so state each one separately on the page.
