Bencher Capitalists
We created Let’s Bench with the idea that each of our booklet bencher or bencher card reflects a special occasion. Becoming a keepsake used for years — and meals — to come. There are so many photos available online through services like Flickr, Picassa or Facebook. Therefore people sometimes miss out on the pleasures of holding and glancing at a photograph.
But by personalizing a bencher with photos and giving it out – almost like a party favor – at weddings, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, fundraisers, special anniversaries and other unique occasions, it becomes a revered photo album that can be easily shared with friends and family. That’s the concept behind Let’s Bench, a distinctive, personal and educational keepsake that can be easily created by you for your next special occasion. As for us, we suppose that Let’s Bench is our way of becoming bencher capitalists.
