The Room Tells the Story

 

The printed décor elements of a Mitzvah — dancefloor decal, sign-in board, place cards, table numbers, menu cards, program covers — are the pieces guests interact with throughout the entire event. The sign-in board is the first thing guests encounter when they arrive. The place card is the first thing they pick up on the way to their table. And the dancefloor decal is visible in virtually every photo taken during the reception. When these pieces are designed to coordinate with your invitation suite — same fonts, same colors, same visual sensibility — guests experience your event as a complete, intentional world. When they're sourced from different vendors with different aesthetics, the effect is fractured, even if each piece is beautiful on its own. This guide covers the full range of Mitzvah décor we produce at Sarah Schwartz Co., how each piece works, and how to think about building a coordinated décor program.

 


THE COMPONENTS

 

The Sign-In Board
Our standard sign-in board is 30 inches square — large enough to be visually commanding, compact enough to display on a standard easel. A sign-in board that echoes the invitation's fonts and colors creates a moment of arrival — guests instantly feel they've entered a world that's been thoughtfully designed.

Place Cards
Each place card is printed with an individual guest's name in the fonts of your suite — not a generic font, not a closest match, but the exact typography of your invitation. At 3 inches square, they're small pieces with a significant cumulative visual impact. A table set with place cards that feel like miniature versions of the invitation suite tells guests that someone thought of every detail. Because you did. Simply submit your seating list via our Excel template when you approve proofs. We handle the rest.

Menu Cards
Your menu is also designed in the same visual language and printed on the same premium stocks as your invitations. They sit at every place setting and become part of the table's visual composition. The menu card is one of those details that guests notice without necessarily being able to articulate why the table looks so complete — and that's exactly the point.

Table Numbers
A full set of table numbers — #1 through #20 — designed in the fonts and colors of your suite and printed on premium stock. Clean, consistent, coordinated. Of course, they can be designed to incorporate your logo or event graphic.

Program Covers
The program cover is the piece guests hold during the ceremony itself — the most sacred and emotionally significant part of the day. A beautifully designed program cover that echoes the invitation suite creates a sense of continuity from the first piece of mail guests received to the moment they're sitting in the sanctuary.

Cocktail Napkins
Custom foil-stamped cocktail napkins are a small detail that guests consistently notice and comment on. At 5 inches square, 100 count, they're like little visual gems scattered throughout the kiddush luncheon, the cocktail hour, and the bar throughout the reception. Foil-stamped with your logo or monogram, they're a fabulous and inexpensive way to get a huge splash of color and sparkle throughout your event.

The Dancefloor Decal
Our most dramatic and most photographed décor piece. A custom vinyl graphic applied to the dancefloor — typically 48 inches round, though custom sizes are available. It can feature your child's logo, a custom illustration, their name and date, or any design element from the invitation suite. The dancefloor decal is visible from virtually every angle of the room and appears in the background of almost every candid photo taken during the party. It's one of the highest-impact design investments in the entire event. A few practical notes: the decal is a temporary vinyl graphic that applies cleanly and removes without residue. Confirm with your venue that floor decals are permitted before ordering.

 
 

How Décor Coordinates With Everything Else

 

The most important thing to understand about Mitzvah décor is that its power comes from coordination. Any individual piece — a beautiful sign-in board, a stunning dancefloor decal — is meaningful on its own. But when every piece in the room speaks the same visual language as the invitation that arrived in guests' mailboxes months earlier, the cumulative effect is something guests feel even if they don't consciously register it. At Sarah Schwartz Co., every décor piece we produce is designed from the same visual brief as everything else in your order. We don't adapt a stock template to your colors. We design from your logo, your palette, your typography, your aesthetic — so every piece looks like it could only have come from your event, for your family, for your child.

 
 

Ordering Décor Without Invitations

You do not have to order invitations to order décor. Décor and favor items can be ordered as standalone pieces or in combination. Our minimum overall order value is $1,000. A dancefloor decal and sign-in board alone don't reach the minimum, but adding kippot, napkins, or any favor items easily gets you there.

 
 

Pricing and Timing

All décor pricing is available at sarahschwartz.com/pricelist. As with all our products, you pay for what you order — no package minimums, no design fees, no surprises. We recommend placing décor orders at least 10–12 weeks before your event. Rush production is available — call to discuss.
