Affirming the goals of the Mitzvah Party Podcast. Looking forward to special guests from the Mitzvah party community. Your event professionals need liability insurance.

How to handle a micro-managing mitzvah party client. Or, how to handle the slow-responsive client. The entertainment might know more about the Jewish traditions than the client. Is working with the father different than working with the mother?

How to communicate more efficiently and effectively. Mitzvah entertainers must have different personalities. The first meeting is not the party performance. Talking to grandma is not the same as connecting with the venue staff.

Music outside the norm. When the client wanted only music before the 80's. What is the specific entertainment goal of each party?

Bathrooms. More than just a bathroom. Planning ahead logistically. Thinking about the needs of everyone connected to the party, not just the guests. Thinking logistically and chronologically to anticipate your needs. How to not buy too much.

Pricing of mitzvah party add-ons. Is a bargain really worth the price? Average Southern California cost for: photo booth, dancers, lighting, tattoo artists, video walls, etc.

Finicky clients. How to be clear when describing the entertainment. "What do you NOT want?" Make a "do not play" music list. Never talk politics on the microphone.

When the party has to stop because something happened. Musical chairs with a treasure hunt. Lean kids together then pull the chairs away. The mitzvah parents decide to tell everyone that a father who wasn't at the party died of a heart attack.

Weather. Rain, heat, wind, cold, snow. Helping clients plan for bad weather. Daylight Savings. Booking two parties on same day. Do you have enough time? What if the weather goes bad?
