To assume all Mitzvahs are blusterous from beginning to end is to assume all Mitzvahs and their families are all the same. Clearly both assumptions are incorrect. So, the important questions to ask when planning your simcha are about the Timber, Tone, and Timing, when guests enter the main room.
Mellow Tone: Mild music, no dance lights, guests come into the room, looking for their table, finding the bar, are ready to sit, eat, watch the montage…
Medium Timber: Upbeat music, we’re happy to see you, this is going to be fun, but no dancing yet.
It’s a party: Dance music, everyone on the dance floor, and ready for the hora as soon as the Mitzvah enters the room.
Over the top: Fast music, lights flashing, MC on the mic hyping the audience for your Mitzvah’s arrival as they’re carried into the room, followed by the hora; with dancing, eating, games, and party, all happening at the same time.
The last question regarding Timber and Tone, is Timing. It’s a reminder there’s a time and place for all the above. And a reminder that pacing yourself allows you and your guests to enjoy each aspect of your celebration.
