שפטרני מעונשו של זה - question

[Abigail Dauber Sterne]

We are planning a bat mitzvah for a partnership minyan, and I have some questions about the "ptarani m'onsho" bracha. 

1) Does your minyan have the parents of a bar/bat mitzvah say the bracha?

2) If yes, does one of the parents need to have an Aliyah - if yes, does it matter which Aliyah? If not, when in tfillah/Torah reading does your minyan have the parents say it? 

3) Do you do anything to make this feel like a special moment? Sing a song, say a few words, etc? 

Thanks,

Abi
