subject: First Communion Invitations - The First Step In Planning The Special Holy Day [print this page] Are you planning a child's First Communion party? If you are you're likely planning a large guest list with friends from the Church coming, members of your family, your child's friends, teachers and other children in their class, then you might want to use First Communion invitations with the rest of your party. First Holy Communion invitations are a token of appreciation to those that attended, as well as a reminder of the date, time and place of the party.
If you want something that looks beautiful and rather traditional for your 1st Holy Communion invitations then you can go with 1st Communion invitations on cardstock with scripted fonts and fancy lettering. You can find these traditional invitations online, or if you need them quickly at your local printing shop.
Of course, you don't have to go the traditional way. You could also make your First Communion invites more color-laden and festive with bright reds or blues or any color and style that you look. You can use pink or blue for these First Communion invitations, or any color that fits the style of the party, or the clothes that will be worn.
You could also go with something religious but by still being unique, such as invitations which tell the story of Communion or have the Mother Mary depicted on the invitations. Another popular one is to have a painting on the Last Supper on the invitations. There are many different types of more traditional, but still unique party invitations.
You'll want to make sure that your invitations include the name of the child that is receiving their First Communion, the place, date and time of the party and a phone number to call in case of cancellations or an address to RSVP. You can also include what sort of gifts should be brought, or if is a potluck celebration, what types of foods.
One of the more unique ways to issue First Communion party invites is to set up a website. It need not be a complicated website, and in fact can even be one of the myriad of free websites that you can find to set up and update information about the party, who is bringing what, and can work as a gift registry where gifts can be checked off.
This will work in conjunction with the cards that you send out in the mail, directing your guests to the web address for further information. You can make it simply, just one page with the updated information, or as complicated as your skills (or someone you know) will allow. This has become a great way to communicate with party guests in our modern world.
Everyone will enjoy attending this celebration and receiving their own personal invitation in the mail. Invite your child's friends as well as your own, or Church members, classmates and teachers and of course you don't want to forget your own relatives. Even if they cannot attend they will love the invitations.
Using invitations will make your party even better and since you only get one First Communion party for a child why not make it extra special. Ask your child what sort of invitations he or she thinks that you should use and your can decide together. It's not just a big day for you, and your child, but for any Church members who has watched your children grow, or family members who you are close to. All of these guests will love getting an invitation as a keepsake to treasure.
