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. 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 a lot of religious themed items that I chose for the tables, like these beautiful cross decorated votive candles. 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 first holy communion favors. I decided to get each guest an extra gift and ordered religious photo frames too. I also ordered a couple extra of them for our house, to put my childrens pictures in.
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. I know that before long she’ll be walking down the aisle on her wedding day. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. I suppose planning a party for her communion isn’t all that different from the someday wedding reception I’ll be helping her to plan. We had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. 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. We had lots of pictures taken at the party and we bought her a beautiful pink album for storing the memories of her communion day. 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. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. This party really meant a lot to our daughter and all of us had such a lovely time. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.
All during the party I was picturing her wedding day and I could see my little girl walking down the aisle to join her husband to be. 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. Not only do they have a fantastic first communion favor section, but they have pretty nice wedding supplies too. I know she’ll be able to find just about any kind of wedding accessories and favors she needs for her wedding day. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. I hung onto this website because I can use their accessories and decoration selections for birthdays and graduations I’ll be planning in the future. You can plan a great bridal or baby shower, or have a fantastic girls night out party with all the super accessories and suggestions they have to offer. 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. You will also find great selections of themed shower accessories, special birthday party themes and a lot of more choices for the kind of party you plan to have. I am sure this online store will come in handy many times over in my household.
