Shopping for Communion Party Favors!
We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I wanted to give out communion favors that would have a religious theme to them. Religious shops didn’t have exactly what I was looking for, especially in my price range. So I decided to check online and see what items they may have for our communion party. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. The teddy bears filled with candy were the holy communion favors for the kids, and I picked out candies in pretty little tins for the adults. I decided to get each guest an extra gift and ordered religious photo frames too. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.
It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We didn’t want to lose the fact of the importance of this special day, but we also wanted to make this party a memorable one. I also bought a girls pink photo album for her to have as her very own with pictures of her first holy communion day and the party with her friends and family. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. Her father and I had her name engraved on a beautiful gold cross we ordered for her, and there were many wonderful communion gifts she received from our guests, too.
I couldn’t help but feel that this was a practice run for her wedding and reception. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. Not only do they have a fantastic communion favor section, but they have pretty nice wedding supplies too. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. This online shopping spot will come in handy in the future when I have to plan for birthdays, graduations and other important events. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. There are all kinds of themed wedding accessories too, beautiful beach wedding accessories, gorgeous winter wonderland supplies and the perfect items for a big country western wedding and reception. Anything you want for the perfect themed shower or birthday party is available, and the choices of accessories are really fantastic. I am sure this online store will come in handy many times over in my household.
