Celebrate a Rite of Passage the Right Way!


An important birthday such as a bar mitzvah, a bat mitzvah or a quinceanera deserves to be noted not just by the acknowledgment of a young person finding his/her way to adulthood but also an opportunity to gather family and friends in one large celebration! A rite of passage certainly needs to be celebrated in a big way. Regardless of budget, you can definitely find a way to make this special occasion an event to remember!

As family and friends gather, make sure they have a beautiful venue to recognize the honoree! Your son/daughter will not only love this chance to pass through the rites of adulthood and new maturity and responsibility but what maturing tween doesn't love a terrific party? Reward them for a great childhood and wish them good luck with their other adventures by throwing a terrific event in a spectacular location!

As you approach this event and begin planning for your loved one's party, keep in mind your actual budget. Having realistic expectations and understanding what you can get for your money will make party planning not only easier on the wallet, but much less stressful. Converse with your loved one and make sure he/she understands the parameters of your budget and the expectations he/she ought to have. For example, if you have budgeted a modest amount, make sure the honoree understands that he/she shouldn't be expecting to ride into the party on the back of a live elephant or other elaborate gestures. Talk over the menu with him/her and see what tastes he/she has and what his/her vision is for their special day. Keep it realistic but also try to make it fun and exciting! After all, an event like this only comes once in a lifetime!

Throwing a party for a young person can be challenging. Take time to consult and have an honest conversation about food, decorations, music possibilities, etc. Although you may not have a pile of money to burn, it won't be hard to make this young honoree happy if you simply listen to their wishes and find ways to create a great atmosphere for him/her and all of your guests. Take him/her to various venues and see which one is preferred. You don't need to scout out every possible meeting place in Spokane, but it would certainly be advised to listen carefully as you decide on where to hold this special event. In the end, it's meant to make your loved one feel honored and happy about getting older, let them have a small say in what could go into their party.
