top reasons planning a b'not mitzvah is not as much fun as planning a wedding

10. my parents aren't paying for it
9. my daughters don't understand what a "b" list is
8. i'm too cheap to pay $50. per centerpiece, so i'm making them myself, which is really more than i am capable of
7. the place we're having it is still under construction AAAARRRGGGGHHHH
6. i have to shop for shoes, outfits, shrugs for me and three daughters
5. schlepping to the synagogue for tutoring every week and sitting on the girls to do their torah studying, their mitzvot, their dvar torah writing
4. keeping track of the ever changing guest list ("but mom, she's like my BEST friend)
2. worrying that everyone will stay healthy
1. it was a lot more fun trying on size six wedding dresses than size (secret) "mother of the bar mitzvah" dresses,
