Bar · Bat · B'nai Mitzvah Suite
The suite, as it arrives — cover first, then the cards in the order you will send them, announcement to thank-you. Tap any card to read it at full size.
The video announcement
Watch it arrive.
The suite’s video, as it arrives in the family chat — a sample photo and sample words throughout. In the one you send, your family’s photo and words take their place.
Called to the Torah — surrounded by everyone who got them here.
At thirteen, a Jewish young person takes their place in the community: months of study, a morning of courage, and a room full of people who have waited a long time to be proud out loud. A mitzvah is not a party theme, and it is not something done to a child — it is something a young person becomes. This suite was built around that truth, and around everything your family actually has to send: the save-the-date, the service invitation, the celebration invitation, the thank-you, and the keepsake.
The name of the moment is your family's to choose — every path at full parity. Bar Mitzvah. Bat Mitzvah. B'nai Mitzvah. B'Mitzvah. The gender-inclusive paths are designed into every card from the first sketch, not adapted afterward — and if your family or your movement uses another name for this moment, such as Simchat Mitzvah, Kabbalat Mitzvah, or Brit Mitzvah, the fields hold that name just as proudly. Your synagogue's practice and your family's words set the language here; we mirror them exactly.
Two events, two invitations — because the lists are different. The service and the celebration often have different guest lists, so this suite invites twice, properly: a service invitation with the synagogue, the service time, and a bracketed kiddush line included only if your community holds one — and a separate celebration invitation for the party, sent to its own list. Services are usually on Shabbat morning; nothing in this suite assumes an evening party or any schedule but the one your synagogue sets.
What this suite never prints: the sacred. There is no Hebrew text, no blessing, no Torah verse, and no ritual description anywhere in these templates — not as decoration, not as default, not at all. Your child's Hebrew name, the name of their Torah portion (parashah), and any Hebrew date appear exactly as your family writes them, spelled by you and checked against your synagogue's program. Your rabbi's guidance outranks anything in our guide, and the guide says so plainly.
Set early, sent early. Mitzvah dates are often assigned by the synagogue long in advance — the save-the-date card is built to go out early, so family traveling far can plan around a day that has been on the calendar for years.
What you receive
- Save-the-date card — their name, the day, the city. Phone size (1080×1920) + print 5×7.
- Service invitation card — synagogue name and address, service time, hosts' names, with fields for the Hebrew name and the Torah portion — both written by your family, never supplied by us — and a bracketed kiddush line, included only if one is held.
- Celebration invitation card — the party, its own card for its own guest list: place, time, RSVP.
- Thank-you card — designed for the young person's own note, the way these thank-yous are traditionally written.
- Keepsake card — name, date, and the Torah portion in your family's spelling, with room for a blessing or a few words in your family's own words.
- Details sheet — the name in letter boxes, the Hebrew name written exactly as your family writes it (any script fits the fields), the weekday checked against the date, every spelling verified once before you build a single card.
- Video announcement (MP4, ~14 seconds) — a warm, proud vertical video of the save-the-date card, made for family chats.
- Layered source files (SVG) — every word editable in free tools.
- Simple edit guide — short numbered steps, written to do in sittings, including the two-guest-list method, sibling and adult variants, and the photo-consent and privacy notes.

The details sheet
Write it once. Check it here. Never from memory.
Every name and date goes on this sheet first, in letter boxes, with the weekday checked against the date — before a single card is built. Precision is a form of love, so we made it part of the suite.
Questions, answered plainly
Which name for the ceremony should we use — Bar, Bat, B'nai, B'?
The one your family and your synagogue use. All of them are designed into every card at the same quality, and the fields also hold movement names like Simchat Mitzvah, Kabbalat Mitzvah, or Brit Mitzvah. We mirror your family's language; we never assign it.
Does the suite include Hebrew wording?
No — deliberately. Hebrew names, the parashah, and any Hebrew date are written by your family, exactly as you write them, and the guide walks you through checking each spelling against your synagogue's program. Sacred text is never template decoration here.
Our service and party have different guest lists. Can the suite handle that?
That is exactly why there are two invitation cards. Send the service invitation to its list and the celebration invitation to its own; the guide explains the two-list method, including the bracketed kiddush line for the guests invited to both.
The celebration is right after the service / weeks later / for the teens only.
All three shapes fit: the kiddush line covers the gathering after the service, the celebration card carries any date and time of its own — including a friends-only party — and nothing assumes the two events share a day.
We are an interfaith family. Whose names go on the invitation?
Whoever is hosting, named as your family names them. The host lines ask; they never assume two parents, one faith, or any particular family shape — single parents, grandparents, and every shape of family are written with the same care.
Twins or siblings sharing a date?
Yes — a joint variant is in the guide: both names, both portions, one shared day, each child named in full.
An adult becoming b'nai mitzvah?
Yes — the same suite serves adults marking this moment later in life. The guide notes the wording shapes; the pride is identical.
Can I print the cards?
Yes — every card includes a print-ready 5×7 export alongside the phone size.
Is anything mailed to me?
No. This is a digital download.
