We want to make sure you’re 100% happy with your invitation so we do not ask you to pay until you are ready to send your invitations.

Mitzvites is not free for a number of reasons.

1. Free invitation sites are not really free. They use your event to make money off of the advertising plastered around your invitation. The more guests you have, the more they make.  In our opinion advertising on a Bar or Bat Mitzvah invitation is less than ideal.
2. Mitzvites is 100% ad free.
   • We do not display advertising banners on your invitations, ever!

Mitzvites is built by people just like you.

1. Although, Mitzvites our founders are internet pioneers, they are traditional at heart and understand how important the presentation of a Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah invitation is. The highest priority was placed on the artistic quality of our invitation design portfolio.
2. Mitzvites employs the highest level of software developers and artists to capture the tradition, elegance, personality, and character that capture and embody the true spirit of the Jewish invitation tradition.
   • We invite you to compare the quality of our designs against any online invitation service and we are confident that our invitations are a cut above the rest.
3. Mitzvites is laser focused and devoted solely to Jewish Bar, Bat and B’Nai Mitzvah’s and nothing else, unlike the other online invitation services.

Yes we can! This is one of the exciting features that sets Mitzvites above all the rest for your online Mitzvah invitation planning.

Our “Additional Events” section gives you the flexibility to add up to four additional events to your invitation. Having a kiddish dinner the night before the big day? No problem! How about a Game Night party for just the kids after the event? Done! Adding multiple events to your invitation is easy and all inclusive with your paid Mitzvites account. No extra charges, no surprises.

Here’s how easy it is to add Additional Events to your Mitzvites invitation.

Start by logging into your Mitzvites account and clicking on the “Event Options” tab. Once there, you will see a tab for “Additional Events“. Simply enter a title and a description for up to four additional events and you can then set whether you’d like to Track RSVPs for each event as well. Once you are finished, click the “Save and Next” button to the lower right.

Now you are on your Guest List page. Easily assign guests to event(s) they are invited to by clicking the “Assign Events” button and clicking the appropriate checkboxes for each event. When this step is done and your invitations are sent, each guest only sees the event(s) they are invited to that you set up in this “Assign Events” section.

Now click “Preview” and you’ll see what your invitation will look like. If you click “RSVP Now” you will see that your main menu contains an “Additional Events” tab that your guests can click on and will feature the information that you entered in the steps above.

Then, click the “RSVP” tab and you’ll see that “Step 2: Additional Events” is now inserted into your invitation so your guests can RSVP for your Additional Events as well! All of the Additional Event RSVP numbers will be tallied in your RSVP Received email and in your online reporting pages so you’ll always be up-to-date and in charge of your event numbers at all times.

No they will not. Mitzvites is a private service and your guests will only see their specific invitation. You (the event creator) are the only one who will have full access to your guest list.

Unfortunately we do not offer phone support. We’re a small company with limited resources, and we’re much better equipped to respond to your questions via this ticketing system and our FAQ page on our website. The folks replying to your questions are the same people who actually built and maintain Mitzvites so we’ll do our best to get you an answer as quickly as we can.

Our invitations never expire. If you are planning ahead and want to start your invitation now and finish it up in a couple of months when your event gets closer, go for it! We will save all of your work and will take you back right where you left off when you log back in again to your Mitzvites account.

And best of all, it’s free to create your invitation! So choose a beautiful invitation design, enter your invitation content, enter your guest list, all for free. You do not need to pay until you are ready to send your invitations.

We sure do! Mitzvites automatically sends out RSVP Reminder emails 7 days before your RSVP Deadline Date and Event Reminder emails 5 days before your event.

Click “Get Started” at the top of any page on the Mitzvites.com website and choose “Create Mitzvite” or “Create Save the Date.”

1. Our easy-to-use wizard let’s you move step-by-step through the process at your own pace. You can stop anytime and Mitzvites will save your work and be ready when you are to work again.

Yes you can! The cost is $49 and all you have to do to get started is click here to submit a support request and we’ll get rolling on creating a second invitation for you right away.

Yes.  This allows Mitzvites to save your work for you as you create.  You can simply do this in one click with the “Sign in with Facebook” button or easily enter your username and password to get started.

This is a scenario that we hear often so we wanted to share with you a solution that other clients of ours are using who are in the same position.

They decided to use Mitzvites for 90% of their guest list to get their Mitzvah invitations out as quickly as possible.  For the other 10% who either are a) more traditional or b) do not have email, they sent a traditional paper invitation to them.  They saved a lot of money by not having to do a full run of paper invitations and they took care of everyone in their own unique way.

The other way that we can help you is to create a PDF file of your invitation when it is complete and we can email that file to you. Then you can take it to your local print shop to print the number of copies that you need to mail and now all of your guests have the same invitation!

We understand that the idea of sending Bar Mitzvah invitations and Bat Mitzvah invitations online is a new concept to some and we are here to help you solve even the most complex issues you may come up with when sending online Mitzvah invitations.

As an example, a recent client used Mitzvites to manage three different events with three unique guest lists.  They were thrilled that we were able to customize a scenario for them that saved  time, a lot of money and their sanity.

If you find yourself in this situation, please contact Mitzvites Client Services and we’ll do our best to help in any way we can.

2. Navigate to the invitation of your choice and click on that invitation.

If you’d like to design your own invitation, you are welcome to submit a background image to us and we’ll be happy to put that into an invitation for you. To do so, please follow these steps.

1.  The first thing for you to do is browse our invitations and pick a text style from one of them and tell me which one you’ve chosen.

2.  Then, attach your background image to this email and send it off to us.  I can then place your background image into an invitation with the text style that you like and you’ll now have your own custom invitation to work with.

Required dimensions are 1140px wide by 660px high. Please send your background image in .jpeg or .png format.

We are not available to customize your invitation any further than this so if you’d like to move forward, I would choose an invitation design from our site first where you like the text treatments (and photos or video if you are looking at those invitations) and then design your background. That way you will know where the invitation content is going before you start designing your background.

Mitzvites is proud to feature some very powerful Event Options that you can easily add to your invitation if you choose. These options are just that, optional, so you can choose to add them or not, the choice is up to you!

Yes! If you would like to simplify your guest list process and create guest records that look like this…

Mr. Joseph Bernstein and Family

…rather than using our default formal guest list model, we can easily do this for you.  Simply contact us and tell us you would like to use our “Simple Guests” model.

Below is an example of what Mr. Joseph Bernstein sees when he RSVP’s to your invitation when you use Simple Guests. Clean and simple.

A Primary Guest is the member of a family or couple that you will send your Invitation to.

After you add your Primary Guest, you can add additional Family Members, Friends and +1’s that your Primary Guest will be able to RSVP for.

Once you have added a Primary Guest to your Guest List, you will see them on the right side under the “My Guest List” header.

1. Click “Add Family Member or Friend” and enter the guests Full Name.
2. Click “Add Family Member”.
   • You will now see the new guest added to the Primary Guest’s name.
   • You can add as many Family Members and Friends as you like.

So you want to invite a friend who is dating that new person, but you can’t remember their name and you’re too embarrassed to ask what their name is? No problem! Enter the “+1” button.

1. Simply click “+1” to let your guest know that they can bring a friend with them to your event. You can click the +1 button as many times as you like for any Primary Guest.
   • Your Primary Guest can RSVP and select meal preferences for their +1 and can easily enter their name as well if they choose.

1. Mouse over the guest on the right side that you would like to edit.
   • Click “Edit”.
2. You may now change any of the Primary Guests information as well as additional guests associated with the Primary Guest.
3. Once your changes are made, click “Update Guests” to save your changes.

1. Mouse over the guest on the right side that you would like to edit.
   • Click “Edit”.
2. Click “Remove” next to the “Addl. Members” that you would like to remove.
3. Click “Update Guests” to save your changes.

Yes, if a Primary Guest is deleted, all guests associated with that name will be deleted. This change is permanent and cannot be undone so be sure you want to do this before you delete a Primary Guest.

Absolutely! Mitzvites is an all inclusive service so you can add more guests anytime and easily send invitations to just the new guests by using our “Send to Specific Guests” button.

Once you have added your new guests to your guest list, simply click “Send Mitzvite” from the top navigation menu and then click the “Send to Specific Guests” Button. You will be presented with a list of your guests and simply click the checkboxes next to the new guests you want to send an invitation to. Then, scroll down and click the “Send Invitations” button and your Invitations will be on their way.

Be sure to click the “Update Guests” button after you make your changes.

When filling out your guest list, set the “Primary Guest’s” first and last name to the CHILD’s name. The email address that you enter will be the parents email address. When you send your invitations, the email that the parents receive contains a line that says “Invitees:” and next to that heading will be the CHILD’s name, because that’s who you entered as the Primary Guest. As a failsafe, when the parent clicks “View Invitation and RSVP” in that email, they will be taken to your invitation and will see that the only name listed to RSVP for will be their child’s name.

Once you have chosen a design, you will be presented with our Invitation settings window that allows you to fully customize your invitation to your liking. We have provided a template for you that you can modify, or, if you like, you can delete everything that is there and create your own design.

When you have finished editing, click “Save and Next” to save your work. You can always return and make modifications anytime to your work.

Would you like to add your name to the bottom of your invitation? Or maybe add a link to your child’s Mitzvah project right inside your invitation? We think that’s a great idea and here’s how easy it is to do.

From the “Invitation Content” section of your Mitzvites account, click inside any of the text boxes that you currently have. When the edit toolbar opens up at the top, click on the icon that has an “A” and a “+” symbol in it with little lines underneath it. This is the “Insert Text Line” tool. Once you click this, you’ll see a new text box at the bottom of your invitation that says “Edit Text” in it. Remove the words “Edit Text” and type in your desired text. Then, highlight the text and click the “Font” button from the tool bar and choose any font you like. Use the “Size” tool if you’d like the text to be larger or smaller. Easily make this text a link by highlighting your text and clicking the “Link” chain icon from the edit toolbar. It’s fourth from the right on top and says “Add a link” when you roll over it. Enter the website address in the “URL” field and then click “OK” and you’re done!

As soon as a guest RSVP’s, we’ll send your our custom made “RSVP Received” email. Every time a guest responds, Mitzvites will update your responses, meal preferences and provide you with all the information you need to stay ahead of your event. Who’s coming, who’s not, who hasn’t responded, enjoy guest comments, it’s all there, right in your inbox waiting for you.

Does your event organizer need an updated headcount? Does your caterer need an itemized meal preference list? No problem! Just forward the attached pdf RSVP Report and they are all up-to-date!

Yes! We automatically send out an Event Reminder email to your guests 5 days before your event. We also automatically send out RSVP Reminders 7 days before your RSVP Deadline Date too!

No they will not. Mitzvites is a private service and your guests will only see their specific invitation. You (the event creator) are the only one who will have full access to your guest list.

They go to both! We’ll send you an RSVP Received email each time you receive an RSVP and we also attach a PDF report to these emails that you can forward to caterers, party planers etc. to make sure everyone has your latest RSVP numbers. You can also log into your Mitzvites account at anytime and click on the Pie Chart icon to see your up-to-date statistics as well as bounced email addresses that need to be cleared up and much more.

Yes! You can easily do this right from your Mitzvites.com account.  Once you are logged in, click on the “Pie Chart” icon and then click on “RSVP Statistics” on the left side.  Click on the “Pending” tab you will see a green “Update” button next to your guest names on the right.  Click that button next to the guest(s) that you would like to update and enter their response right there.  Your RSVP numbers will update automatically as soon as you click “Done“.

There are many ways you can approach your video. A few have chosen to hire a professional to create more elaborate videos. Others have experience with video editing and all the video tools and have done some amazing videos as well. The vast majority of videos, including our co-founder’s, were home grown and shot by non professionals. At Mitzvites we tend to prefer the videos that are simple, fun and personal. If you can stick to that rule, your guests will love it.

Some of the best videos we’ve seen are simply Mom or Dad holding a smartphone or a tablet and just videoing their child in one or a few takes. Our Co Founder, Will Bernstein, did just that with his daughter. He filmed her with his tablet, uploaded his video with zero editing and was done. Simple and fun. The guests all loved it and wanted to find out how they could do their invitations the same way. That one simple video spawned Mitzvites.

If you’d like to have a little extra fun with your video, choose the invitation design on Mitzvites before you start. Notice if the event information is on the left or right and where the location of the “RSVP Here” button is. Then, your child can point your guests to where the important information is located on their Mitzvite. By pointing to the Event Information section and showing your guests where to RSVP, your Mitzvite just became a whole lot more personal and informative.

Think simple and your video will be great. If you want to go pro, fantastic, and we can’t wait to see it, but we believe that your child is unique from any other child and letting them express themselves and their personality in a way that makes them feel comfortable on video is what Mitzvites was created for.

When using a Smartphone or Tablet to make your video…
Be sure to turn your phone or tablet SIDEWAYS (landscape) when you are shooting your video. Videos displayed on Mitzvites (or YouTube, Vimeo or any other site for that matter) are designed to be displayed in the widescreen format to maximize the amount of space your subject occupies on the screen.  If you hold your phone or tablet vertically, there will be black bars displayed on the left and right side of your video and your subject will not be featured as prominently as they would in landscape mode.

Unfortunately we do not offer phone support. We’re a small company with limited resources, and we’re much better equipped to respond to your questions via this ticketing system and our FAQ page on our website. The folks replying to your questions are the same people who actually built and maintain Mitzvites so we’ll do our best to get you an answer as quickly as we can.

1. If you do not see your Invitation or Save the Date email in your inbox, please check your spam folder to make sure that it was not filtered by your email client.
   • If it was, move the email to your inbox and add “shalom@mitzvites.com” to your address book to ensure you will not miss another email from Mitzvites.
2. Mitzvites works tirelessly to make sure our emails are delivered to the inboxes of hundreds of different email services your guests can choose from. It is impossible to guarantee 100% delivery rates so you may have a few guests that have to look in their spam folders to find your invitation.

Unfortunately Yahoo! and Outlook have special deals with Facebook that allows them to be one of the very few companies that can import email addresses from Facebook friends, but they are not allowed to export those addresses outside of their system.

1. If Facebook ever changes this policy, we will investigate adding this functionality to our roadmap.
