Bris

Hosting and organizing a bris is a special event, as it’s one of the first important ceremonies in your baby boy’s new life. In marking this significant Judaic ceremony, Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center is excited to help you plan a fantastic party for your family and friends to celebrate this special occasion.


Hiring a Bris Party Hoster

Before your baby boy is born, you may want to start thinking about bringing in a professional to plan the bris. Our party hosters at Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center know how to plan the perfect celebration without missing a single detail.

Bris Ceremony Details

The bris ceremony is typically brief, taking about 15 minutes. The mohel might discuss the meaning of the ceremony and the covenants made when choosing this path for a newborn baby boy. Part of the ceremony might also include discussing the child’s name, what it means, and how the parents chose it for their baby.

Hosting the Meaningful Things

It is traditional to have the baby circumcised while sitting on the lap of his grandfather or another respected man within the religious community. Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center helps plan the little details you may need, such as providing a special chair for the individual sitting with the baby, or a table for the cup of wine the mohel will pass around after reciting the blessing.

Bris Party Guest List

Many people who host a bris ceremony choose to host a bris party afterward. Before hosting your party, decide who to invite. This special religious rite of passage often includes friends, family members, and other loved ones. Don’t forget to arrange for a mohel to perform the circumcision.

You might also choose to invite children. No matter who you choose to invite to your bris, Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center can work with your guest list and send out beautifully crafted invitations that won’t leave anyone out.

Bris Party Ideas

Most bris party hosts do not use any type of themed decorations unless they are religious in nature. But you should plan to serve food and drinks to your guests, which everyone can enjoy after the ceremony is complete. If the celebration is very traditional, the parents might say a special prayer over the meal, called birkat hamazon, which allows everyone to give thanks for the food.

Special Meal

Common food items served at a bris party include bagels and lox, especially because many ceremonies take place in the morning. Whether you wish to include traditional meals or something more contemporary, Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center will assist in providing the food of your choice such as finding a suitable caterer. Because guests may adhere to special religious dietary laws, Cascades Celebration and Corporate Event Center will help to offer food that guests can enjoy, such as kosher meals.
