Bar Mitzvahs in the San Francisco Bay Area



Celebrity Gems offers a memory album filled with pictures and comments made by all the Bar and Bat Mitzvah family and friends. Digital pictures are taken and printed on site and later guests decorate pages for the child.
The Safari theme with lions, tigers and giraffes is one idea for a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. For another theme idea the pink translucent heart purses held place cards and candies.
