We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual 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. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s first communion 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.
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 in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. We ordered a cake, had lots of food for everyone and even had a band. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. 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. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. We bought our daughter a very lovely gold cross and had her name put on it, and she got some very exquisite gifts from our friends and family too.
All through the party I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was practicing for the day she grows up and gets married. She’s growing up so fast and before you know it I will be helping her plan her wedding day and picking out reception accessories with her, for real. When she’s ready to start planning her wedding and reception, I’ll know the perfect place for her to go shopping. 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. I know she’ll be able to find just about any kind of wedding accessories and favors she needs for her wedding day. I sort of gave the site the once over and checked out some of the items they have, and there is quite a selection for all kinds of events. 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. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.
