Our daughter made her first holy communion last week and we had a small party for her glorious day. I wanted to find some glorious communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a glorious touch to them. So, I checked out a lot of religious shops and even book stores but still couldn’t find anything that seemed just right. So I hit the internet in search of the right favors for her party. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. I chose decorative tins filled with candy for the grown ups and the children received candies packaged in adorable little teddy bear containers as their communion party favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.
The day we went shopping for her communion dress I couldn’t help but think of the day when we’ll be shopping for her wedding gown. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. 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 wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. With all the pictures we took at her communion party, I’m so glad we decided to make the pink photo album an extra little communion gift for her. Like I said before we wanted to keep things as simple as possible and not go overboard, so me and some of the other moms made the food, and the only thing I ordered for it was the cake. 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. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. 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.
All through the party I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was practicing for the day she grows up and gets married. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. At least when it does come to that, I’ll know where to send her for her wedding supplies and accessories for her reception. They have so much to offer in the first communion favor section and it’s the best place to shop, there is also whole line of wedding accessories. She’ll have lots 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. In fact, I saved this particular site to my desktop, because there are also quite a few suggestions for birthdays and graduations. They have accessories for baby showers, bridal showers and some great ideas for a girls night out parties. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. I am sure this online store will come in handy many times over in my household.
