A Bar/Bat Mitzvah is an important step and rite of passage, especially for the parents who are beginning their process of letting go. Letting your son or daughter transition to adulthood and become a fantastic member of their community.
A Bar/Bat Mitzvah video montage has been a highlight of many celebrations for years — creating one for your child is simple with VidDay.
A VidDay video gift is a simple way to bring family and friends together, whether they can come to the synagogue in-person to see the ceremony.
We've come up with three incredible ways you can use video to bring others into the celebration.
Bar Mitzvah Video Greetings - Share it as a Gift
Mazel tov! Send big Bar Mitzvah congratulations on what they've achieved and their rite of passage as an adult. Gather messages from family, friends, Rabbi, or cantor, giving them a big congrats on their Bar or Bat Mitzvah!
It's the best present to send them off to adulthood. They will treasure it for years to come and go back to listening to the words of wisdom that everyone gave to them.
Share the gift of knowledge, having everyone join in on a video gift.
You'll be taking loads of pictures and videos during the party anyway. You can upload all of your photos and video into your VidDay Event Page.
Here, you can drag and drop your photos and video in order. We'd suggest in chronological order, so everyone can feel like they were there with you. From there, you can choose a beautiful video theme and some background music to give your video a polished look.
Present the video at the Bar Mitzvah party
Host an outdoor or indoor screening of the Bar Mitzvah video montage as a surprise for the recipient and guests. You can easily cast the video on a smart TV or present it on a projector. Set up a viewing area in the event space, or living room. Then, get the Bar Mitzvah recipient and everyone to watch the video montage together. You can also serve snacks and beverages to create a fun and festive atmosphere.
Share on Social Media
Not everyone was able to make it to the party?
Share all the memories of their special day by sharing their Bar or Bat Mitzvah on social media. You can upload the video to your Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram accounts.
As a bonus, sharing the video on social media also allows you to include friends and family who couldn't attend. You can also add a video of you thanking the guests who made it to the celebration, or add in a “Thank You” note at the end of your Bar or Bat Mitzvah video!
All your guests will truly appreciate it.
