Planning Your Child's Bar or Bat Mitzvah

Because of the ages of my daughters, I am friends with many parents who are going through the planning process for their child's bar or bat mitzvah. I have attended these parties, and witnessed the months of preparations, and all I can say is that party is well-earned by both the child and the parents. After extensive research, I've managed to put together a guide to the steps a parent planning a bar or bat mitzvah celebration will need to take to pull off this milestone event in their child's life.
