The Six Most Popular Exit Stations for Private Events

by | Jun 26, 2019 | Events

If you’re planning a Sweet 16 or a Bar Mitzvah or other spectacular party, you already know that trends for these parties seem to change yearly, and you want everything to be perfect. One of the latest trends in parties is offering an exit station — one last treat or gift for your guests — before they leave. You can think of it as a final chance to wow your guests. Here’s a look at some of the most popular exit stations for private events.

 

Donuts

After a couple of hours of dancing, your guests will appreciate a good sugar buzz. You can set up a donut exit station that allows guests to choose their own flavors and box them or offer them already boxed donuts. Krispy Kreme can cater a small box of donuts with two treats per box. If you want to add a little something extra, you can offer individual containers of white and chocolate milk.

 

Hangover Kits

If you’re hosting a company party or birthday party for an adult and plan to have an open bar, then hangover kits make a great exit station. Use a small basket or other container and fill it with individually packaged Advil, Pepto Bismol, crackers, a protein bar, bottle of water, Visine, mouthwash, gum and mints. It’s everything someone might need the next morning after your fabulous party.

 

Boxed Meal

As a final goodbye and way to cap off an evening of fun, your exit station can be a boxed meal. For teens and kids, you might consider designing a box that resembles a happy meal. Inside the boxed meal, you can put in a couple of sliders and French fries or make it a healthy snack with fresh fruit and a container of yogurt. After a party, many guests stop on the way home for a quick bite, and this exit station sends them home full and happy.

 

Slippers

Up on their feet visiting with other guests and dancing to the beat, your guests’ feet are pretty sore at the end of the evening. You can give them a little comfort and pampering at the exit station. Set out a variety of warm, comfy slippers, including bunny slippers, plain slip-on, and bootie styles. It’s a good idea to provide an assortment of colors and sizes so each guest finds a pair that will help their tired feet rejuvenate on the ride home.

 

Candy

Who doesn’t love candy? Whether it’s chocolate covered nuts, caramel, or sour candies that make your lips pucker, everyone loves to find a candy bar as an exit station. You can design this exit station to look like a candy store filled with glass jars, scoops, and individually packaged candies. There are many options for guests to store their selected candies, such as bags, Chinese take-out cartons, boxes, and tins. It’s a gift that they can enjoy long after the party is over.

 

Milk and Cookies

There is not an age limit on loving milk and cookies. After warm soup and mac and cheese, it’s probably your favorite comfort food. As your exit station, you can send your friends home with a bag of warm cookies and an individual jug of milk to munch on the way home. You can offer a variety of flavors, including chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, sugar, and peanut butter cookies.
A lot goes into planning the perfect party from guests lists to menus but it’s also a lot of fun. When it comes to exit stations, you can choose one that on trend or let your imagination soar to create one that reflects the person you’re throwing the party for.

Ready to Plan your Bat/Bar Mitzvah? Here’s What to Look for When Choosing a Venue

by | Apr 17, 2019 | Events, Mitzvah

 

A Bat or Bar Mitzvah is one of the most special events in a Jewish boy or girl’s life. On this day, a child comes of age and prepares to take his or her place in the Jewish community. Many families choose to celebrate this momentous occasion with a Bar or Bat Mitzvah party that brings friends and family together in celebration.

If you’re ready to plan a Bar Mitzvah for your child, you might be starting a preliminary search for the perfect venue — where everyone will celebrate after the ceremony in the Synagogue. As it’s such a crucial event, it’s important that you get every aspect right for this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. We know event planning can be stressful, so we’ve created a guide on choosing the perfect venue for your Bat or Bar Mitzvah. From kosher catering to fun mocktails, make sure your venue can create an unforgettable experience.

 

What to Look for in a Bar Mitzvah Venue

When choosing a venue, it’s important to bring a list of questions along as you get started. Don’t be afraid to ask the representative at the venue all the questions you may have about the special day. If possible, plan to check out the physical space of the venue beforehand so that you can get an impression of the space. And when checking the venue’s offerings, make sure they’re able to accommodate all of the following:

 

1. Delicious Meals & Kosher Catering

What’s more important than a party’s food offerings? A delicious menu not only keeps your guests full and happy, but often forms the main event of the party. Unfortunately, not every venue can offer the Kosher catering that you’ll need. When you get in touch with a venue, make sure they offer kosher catering before going any further with your plans. And just because it’s kosher, doesn’t mean it’s the food you’re looking for — make sure to talk to the catering manager at the venue you’re looking at to see what they can offer.

 

2. Access to Preferred Vendors

There’s a lot to think about when planning the perfect Bat Mitzvah. How will you bring the space to life with the perfect floral arrangements? Will you be bringing in balloons to enliven the space? Is there a particular theme that would require an outside vendor to creatively decorate the space? Will there be a DJ to provide hours of entertainment for your guests? When you work with a vendor, make sure they help you access preferred vendors that can help you design the event of a lifetime.

 

3. In-House Event Planner

The value of an in-house event planner can’t be overstated. First of all, they’ll possess an in-depth knowledge of everything there is to know about the venue itself. Secondly, they’ll have an intimate relationship with various vendors, and be able to leverage those relationships to help you plan the perfect party.

Because in-house event planners have seen so many different parties unfold, they are able to not only help you organize an important, massive event — but they’ll also know what needs to be done to make this event stand apart as original, unique, and designed specifically for your needs.

 

4. Challah Bread for the Motzi

Just as with the kosher catering, it’s pivotal to ensure that your venue can accommodate Jewish traditions on this special day. When you talk to the catering manager of the venue, make sure they can provide everything you need to ensure your traditions are honored.

For example, not every caterer is able to provide Challah bread for the Motzi. Make sure to cover the specifics when you contact the venue — and, again, don’t shy away from asking detailed questions about everything you might need.

 

5. Private Suite

As fun and special as a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, it can also present some stress. After all, it’s so important for everything to go well! On this special, one-of-a-kind day, it’s important to be able to get ready, reflect, and de-stress in a private area.

Though it may not be the first element you think of when booking a venue, a private suite for you and the boy or girl celebrating their Bar/Bat Mitzvah is an absolutely pivotal part of a day that’s certainly going to demand a lot of energy. Give yourself the gift of booking a space with a private suite available — you won’t regret it.

 

6. Choice of Linen

Colors, themes, decor — you’re probably excited to plan everything at the Bat Mitzvah to absolute perfection. That’s why it’s so important to book a venue that’s willing to work with you on all these details. Linens can drastically change the look and feel of an event. Whether you’re going for more muted and elegant tones, or a bright and bold palette, go with a venue that offers you choice of linen so that you can tailor the look to suit the event.

 

7. Signature Mocktails

While the adult guests might indulge in the chance to have a drink or two, it’s important to keep the young man or woman — and all of their friends — in mind as well. While you could plan for alternate beverages like soda or juice, mocktails can serve as a fun and sophisticated addition to the party. These non-alcoholic beverages can add the perfect splash of elegance to the event. Talk to the venue ahead of time and see if they serve any signature mocktails to enliven the event.

 

Other Tips for Planning the Perfect Bar/Bat Mitzvah

  • Get organized far in advance. Although you may have booked the Synagogue months, even years ahead of time, it’s similarly important to start searching for your venue far ahead of time. Remember, your venue will have to be established before invitations go out — so it’s important to have it booked as promptly as possible.
  • Carefully consider space when booking. A Bar Mitzvah can be a huge event, so it’s important to have at least a rough estimate of your guests before considering a certain venue. Then, ensure that the venue can accommodate everyone who will attend.
  • Involve the guest of honor. At the end of the day, this special day is all about the boy or girl turning into a man or woman. Make sure that you’re taking their tastes and requests into account when planning the big day.
