[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me about the most over the top bar/bat mitzvah you attended? [/quote]

Younger family member in South FL. They had a giant screen that the DJ was using and when it was time for the new Bat Mitzvah to make her grand entrance, a movie (very high quality professional production, not a homemade kind of thing) began on the screen - starring the kid whose party it was. Kind of a modernized urban Cinderella story, and when she ran off screen, she ran into the room of the party in the same gown. Decor: corinthian style pillars topped with giant ostrich plumes, walls draped in iridescent fabric with color show projections. Several themed bars (which the Bat Mitzvah helped herself to liberally and was super hung over the next morning), several hundred guests in formal dress. Passed hors d'oeuvres, filet mignon AND lobster tail as main course (and this was in a synagogue, so clearly no kosher requirement), Brazilian Carnival dancers, dessert buffet to rival the Wynn in Vegas, separate "kid food" buffet, DJ with helpers to mingle (read: pester adults into dancing), photographers, film crew, elaborate floral arrangements balanced on pillars at each table, photo booths, caricature artist, several tables of different kinds of party favors, and stuffed swag bags.

I didn't grow up Jewish and didn't start going to Bar/Bat Mitzvahs until I married my DH, and so far they have literally all been like this.[/quote]

You don't say.

Your husband must know a lot of people who have a jaw-dropping amount of money? I've been going to bar/bat mitzvahs all my life, and so far literally not one of them has been like this.[/quote]

That's the thing - DW is a public school teacher and DH is a doctor. They are comfortable, but are not extravagantly wealthy people. This is just how The Family do things.[/quote]
