writersoul: It is appropriate to celebrate a bas-mitzva because she then becomes a metzuva v’osa. However since it is proper for her to be a tzenua, it should not be a grand affair, but rather a small celebration at home. That would be good for a bar-mitzva as well, but for a girl an extravagant bas-mitzva celebration is a contradiction in terms.
