Splurge
events company, A Sharp Production, recently did a Bar Mitzvah
with a Super Bowl theme. That, he said, is a theme that’s easy to
spend money on, depending on how authentic the people paying
for it want to get.

One place to start is with centerpieces. When a client gives the
go-ahead, Weitz said, A Sharp Productions will use real National
Football League helmets for their bases.

To give the event an additional air of authenticity, he said, each
guest can be given an actual NFL jersey and someone can be hired
to press the guest’s name and the number of his choice on it.

One recent Super Bowl-themed Bar Mitzvah, Weitz said, had a
30-by-50-foot image of the inside of a football stadium, “so every
time we took pictures, it looked like they were in a stadium.”
Other nice touches can include staffers dressed as referees;
goalposts with footballs suspended in the air above; a ticket booth
will a “will-call” sign where guests can pick up “tickets” resem-
bling Super Bowl tickets; an echo effect, so when guests are asked
to pick up “tickets,” it sounds like their names are being read by a
public-address announcer in an NFL stadium; an entrance lined
with women in realistic cheerleaders’ outfits or actual NFL cheer-
leaders who cheer each guest’s entrance; and carbon dioxide
cannons that blast fog when the Bar Mitzvah boy walks in.

“If it’s offseason, or it’s during a day that doesn’t require a
ballplayer to be in training, you can have an NFL player signing
autographs during the cocktail hour,” Weitz said.

If making a venue look like an NFL stadium isn’t enough for
you, you can hold your event in an actual NFL stadium.
