Half the room is thirteen

Bar & Bat Mitzvahs

A bar or bat mitzvah is two parties sharing one room: a kids’ zone with its own gravity and an adults’ reception with real seating politics — grandparents honored, family factions managed, kosher counts exact. The program runs on ritual and momentum: candle lighting, the hora, the montage.

How Mezze handles it

Kids’ tables and adult tables live on one chart — group guests as “kids” and Auto-seat keeps cohorts together. Keep-apart rules manage the adult politics. Meal answers arrive at RSVP (kids’ meals as a custom question), and the schedule pins the candle lighting while everything else cascades around it.

Questions we hear

Kids’ meals vs adult meals?

Add a “Meal” choice question on the RSVP — answers show per guest and export in the CSV.

Can the hora space be sized right?

Yes — the dance-floor sizing guidance warns when the floor is tight for your count.

Separate kids’ seating chart?

Group them and Auto-seat clusters them; drag to your layout from there.
