4.0 out of 5 stars This Book is strictly for party planning, February 18, 2001

This review is from: The Complete Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner: An Indispendable, Money - Saving Workbook For Organizing Every Aspect Of The Event - From Temple Services To Reception (Paperback)

This book is basically a workbook in which you are directed to make lists etc for all the myriad aspects of planning a bar/bat mitzvah reception. You are guided to all the details you must take care of to make a successful reception. If you are looking for a book to explain the religious experience of the bar/bat mitzvah, this book is definitely not for you. If you wish to have a big reception, then this book fits the bill. If the book is useful to you, I hope you will spend at least equal time in preparing for the religious element of bar/bat mitzvah and use an excellent guide such as "Putting God on Your Guest List." My 4 star rating is based on the assumption that the reader wants a party planner only. If you want more, this book is not for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner - a real time saver, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner: An Indispendable, Money - Saving Workbook For Organizing Every Aspect Of The Event - From Temple Services To Reception (Paperback)

The author does an excellent job of helping the reader step by step with every detail of the planning process. I like the money-saving hints she gave for the photographer. Ms. Sage even gives the toll-free phone numbers for party supplies which saved a lot of time. The invitation list with gift/response card form is helps keep all my information organized instead of having the information in different places. This book is defintely worth the money..Thank you..

1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless, June 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Bar/Bat Mitzvah Planner: An Indispendable, Money - Saving Workbook For Organizing Every Aspect Of The Event - From Temple Services To Reception (Paperback)

I found this book totally disappointing. The advice is obvious even to inexperienced party planners. (For example, in the chapter on invitations there is a section on ink color that states only: "There are many colors to consider.") Most of the book consists of lined pages for you to write your price comparisons for vendors, such as photographers. There are 20 pages lined for you to fill in guest addresses, with little boxes to check off if you have written a thank you note. My copy of this book is going straight into the recycling pile.
