“Bar and Bat Mitzvahs
are generally very theme-
oriented,” observed Valori
Zaslow, a party planning
veteran.

When it comes to milestone parties ,
there are themes — cars, ballet, candy. And then there
are themes.

Ryan Orlov’s neon baseball reception at Citizens Bank
Park surely falls in the latter category. Following his De-
cember 2016 Bar Mitzvah at Main Line Reform Temple,
the Bala Cynwyd teen was feted with neon cocktails served
in neon glasses, and lemonade that fl owed out of a neon ice
sculpture shaped like Ryan’s name.

Men in neon green neckties sat at tables lit by glow-
in-the-dark neon baseballs, as neon mazel tovs blazed on
the Jumbotron.

“Bar and Bat Mitzvahs are generally very theme-ori-
ented,” observed Valori Zaslow, a party planning veteran
whose Bala Cynwyd-based fi rm, ReEvent, handled the
Orlov reception. While the neon was novel, Zaslow said
sports-oriented receptions are a perennial favorite.

Th is year, unsurprisingly, event planners expect a surge
in Eagles parties — not only B’nai Mitvahs, but also wed-
dings and milestone birthdays.

“We’ve defi nitely seen a few Eagles cakes already,” said
Stephanie Fitzpatrick of Philadelphia-based EBE Events
& Entertainment.
