How to invite people for Bar Mitzvah
A great way to invite people to a bar mitzvah is one note that separates the service from the celebration. Give the date, when the service begins, and when and where the meal or party follows.
Send it six to eight weeks ahead, sooner for guests who travel. Mention what to wear only if your community expects something particular.
What times should the card include?
The start of the service and the start of the celebration, plus both places if they differ.
