Theme Parties, Part One

In 2006 I photographed a few celebrations that had elaborate themes to them. Jewish coming of age ceremonies (a bar mitzvah for a boy, bat mitzvah, or a b'nai mitzvah if two or more children have the ceremonies simultaneously ) often have such parties for their receptions.

Maia's party had an Arabian Nights theme with stunning decorations:


In addition to the scenery, ornately costumed entertainers presented the bat mitzvah girl, Maia (in red), and danced for and with the crowd.


Her mom especially got into the dancing mood:

Flash back to an era of heroism, good versus evil, monsters, magic and the good guy defeating the bad guy and flying off into the sunset on a magic carpet! For modern day romance and swashbuckling look no further than an Arabian Nights Party! Everyone comes dressed in costume, even speaking the language of the ancient Middle East! Think about it, you can be Aladdin with the magic lamp, or a crusader sailing off to find the golden treasure hidden in a cave, just make sure you know the magic words to open the sealed door and the treasure of a thousand ages is yours! An Arabian Nights Themed Party Company will bring the costumes, props, scenery, authentic food and drink and even actors to make the event seem that much more real and immersive. Get ready to sail off into the sunset in your own themed Arabian Nights Party and feel free to consult the magical.
