There were two things that I remember fighting with my mother about, over my bat-mitzvah. The location (I absolutely, positively did NOT want it at the place with the red chairs) and the invitations. As any 13-year-old from the mid-90's did, I wanted sparkly, glittery invitations with ribbons, etc. You know, the kind that with 20/20 hindsight one can only see as ostentatious. Lucky for me, my mom had better style sense than I did - and I "settled" for very tasteful invitations.
I only wish I had the chance to choose designs like these, from Red Turtle Invitations (by Arielle Rogers). Can't you just see my name across the top of that one?

This new collection includes classic designs with a modern twist. Ari believes in the importance of maintaining traditions but also in having fun - both elements shine through with her work. I have known about Ari's work for a while now, but I'm thrilled to see that she's expanded into doing bar and bat mitzvah invitations. You can purchase them through her page here on Homegrown Judaica or on her website, Red Turtle Invites.
