Attention, sports fans!

When one of our favorite It! Girls called upon It! Weddings & Events to create a fun and fabulous bar mitzvah to celebrate her son's rite of passage, we imagined everything from personal appearances by the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders to a laser-lit driving range for the young sports fans.

But a more tasteful kiddush luncheon affair was in order for friends and family. This fun video montage by LaFrance Films helped share young Andrew's sense of humor (and athletic prowess) while guests enjoyed an elegant three-course luncheon at Pistache French Bistro in West Palm Beach.

To create the montage, we put our heads together to collect the greatest moments in sports history. Photographer Alexi Sheilds captured Andrew's expressive images, and Michael LaFrance brought it all together, compiling video with the edited images and a fist-pumping soundtrack.

Not your ordinary kids' party

When one of our favorite Palm Beach It! Moms wanted to throw a "low-key house party" to celebrate her daughter's 14th birthday and graduation from Palm Beach Day School, we knew it would be no ordinary fete. After all, it's de rigueur for this former New Yorker to grab dinner with Eric Ripert, talk fashion with Zac Posen or take in a Miami Dolphins football game in a private skybox with Fergie.
Taking cues from the guest of honor's love for Japanese mochi ice cream and ramune soda, the It! Girls transformed the family room of their Palm Beach estate into an Asian nightclub with pipe and black velvet drape, masses of flickering pillar candles, disco balls and motion lights — of course you had to make it past two hunky bouncers and a velvet rope to get inside!
Poolside, a sunset butterfly release celebrated their graduation, symbolizing their respective journeys to high schools and boarding schools near and far.
On the menu: Asian fare by Christafaro's Catering served up in Chinese takeout boxes, and sweet treats by The Sugar Monkey in the form of marzipan sushi rolls. A birthday cake in the form of a Chinese takeout box complete with a fortune cookie and edible chopsticks rounded out the theme. DJ Adam Lipson mixed the latest tracks as nearly 100 teens danced the night away, and each guest of the birthday girl departed with a yard of multicolored gumballs at the evening's end.
