The Instagram Bar Mitzvah

I had the best time planning a recent

Instagram Bar Mitzvah.

Fresh, Modern and #SoMuchFun!...

Months ago, Jason's mom and I were brainstorming party ideas.

She wanted to do something with his favorite things.

As we mulled it over and it suddenly dawned on her,

Instagram would be the PERFECT theme.

Most 13 year olds are on Instagram,
and there were so many ways to incorporate it into the party

It started with the simple
Instagram Logo inspired invitation...

Hashtags would be a major focus,

Glittered Primary Colored Hashtags 

(playing off the rainbow stripe in the logo)

floated above the Lounge Area...

His favorite things and nicknames were marked with 

#s and @s

to name the tables...

the Neon Yellow and Silver Escort Cards matched 

the colors of the linens, 

and mimicked his favorite pair of soccer shorts!

As I started to work on the

Candy Buffet,
of course Rainbow was all I could think of.

candies...

gum...

scoops...

#candy, 

indeed!

Vibrant Yellow Flowers in Rainbow Striped Boxes

decorated the adult tables...

and bright, festive hurricanes...

ran down the middle of the kids' tables...

As the night went on,

the guests took pictures with their phones and posted them to Instagram with a special party hashtag.

Those pictures streamed on the screen above the dance floor, 

along with the pictures from the photo booth.  

the party lighting was all in primary colors,

and everything glowed perfectly...
