The only thing as stressful as planning a wedding is planning a Bar Mitzvah (or Bat Mitzvah)!

Our custom playing cards for Bar Mitzvahs  are one way to ease the stress and guarantee an affordable favor that will not only last for years to come but also ARRIVE ON TIME!!

Since we have a variety of printing methods available – All three of our methods -Foil stamp imprinting, Color graphic and photo playing cards are all very popular for Bar Mitzvah favors.  We design custom art for each client at no charge – and try to make it something that both reflects the theme of the bar mitzvah – as well as the character of the person who is coming of age.  Each custom deck of playing cards is printed on casino quality playing card stock – with the difference being the method of imprinting the actual design or logo on the back of the decks.

Foil stamp imprinting

Foil stamp playing cards require a one color logo that can easily be converted into black and white line artwork.  The logo is then stamped on to the cards in a color that will contrast the stock background color.  Backgrounds come in over 20 different colors and there are a wide variety of foil stamped colors to choose form as well. Samples of foil and background colors avail able for foil stamped playing cards are shown here.

Color Printed playing cards

With color printed playing cards  – we take your logo or artwork and recreate it with multiple colors. It can be a design – or a drawing – in one or multiple colors – but it is printed rather than stamped with foil. Samples are shown below of this style.

Full color photo printing or color logo printing

Many families like to use a full color photo of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah on the bak of the playing cards.  Generally we also add a line or two of text over the photo to commemorate the occasion.  A sample of these full color playing cards are shown here.
