capacity," says Kretchmer. "We print out
an average of 550 photos per night. The
products come with unlimited prints, so
the printer needs to be able to produce."
* A new addition to Star Trax is the
Beauty Bar, which lets guests receive mini-
makeovers, nail art, hair chalking, feather
eyelashes and more. Also favorites: henna
and facepainting, glitter tattoo art, air-
brushed and flash tattoos and crystal and
ink tattoos.
* There are tons of big-kid (and adult)
crafts that engage while letting guests
bring home some of the fun, and many
can coordinate with the event's theme or
colors, including mosaic kits, tie-dye candle
art, sand art, spin-art Frisbees (or T-shirts
or sweatshirts), pottery painting, ceramic
wheel-throwing, make-your-own nail pol-
ish and Squirt-a-Shirt.
There's also jewelry-making (like burn
bracelets, camp cording and pewter name
necklaces), personalized dog tags and
more. A new favorite: wax hand replicas.
* Some make-and-take items allow
guests to participate in creating custom
pieces while letting the pros do the hard
labor: Behind the Screens lets guests
help silk-screen their own custom T-shirt,
hat, sweatpants or Pinnie jersey with live
screen printing. Airbrush graffiti lets guests
choose from a dozen airbrush designs to
embellish a product, plus personalize it
with their name.
* Bring some game to the party with
Hoops2Go (a traveling electronic-scoring
basketball game), inflatable sports arenas,
miniature motorways and video-game sta-
tions.
* Want some fresh music fun? Add
karaoke, confetti cannons (venue permit-
ting) or bubble-wrap your dance floor.
Star Trax offers Video Trax — guests can
choose a song, shoot a video and bring a
DVD home that night.
Star Trax has done everything from
bringing in a guest DJ and professional
athletes to interact with guests to indoor
fireworks to top off the night.
"The bar and bat mitzvah is the one
event where you have all generations —
kids, parents, grandparents — together
to celebrate something really unique,"
Kretchmer says. "That's really the greatest
part of the celebration." ❑
