However, if your theme is centered around candy, songs like “Candy Girl” by New Edition, “Candy” by Mandy Moore, “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera, or the 80’s favorite “I Want Candy” by Bow Wow Wow would be more fitting.
We hope these song suggestions have inspired you and given you an excellent starting point for creating a remarkable bar or bat mitzvah photo montage. Remember, the right songs can enhance the emotions and memories captured in your photos. So go ahead and start curating a memorable musical journey!
