If your child is having their First Communion soon then you are likely planning a giant celebration complete with family, friends, church members and even classmates.
You'll want all of those attending to have a great time at your party and First Communion invitations should certainly be at the top of your list.
First Holy Communion invitations will be a keepsake to treasure for years.
The kind of 1st Communion invitations that you should choose depends upon the style of the party you are having.
Many people choose the simpler, more formal celebration which may require 1st Holy Communion invitations that are more extravagant with scripted fonts and gold inlays.
This is a common choice for First Communion cards and look absolutely beautiful.
If your party will be more festive you may want to go with a brighter, more colorful First Communion invite.
You can choose from a variety of colors and styles.
Many parents choose blue or pink for their First Communion invites either because that is the theme of the party, and the color of the dresses, or because the colors look great on invitations.
You can even make your invitations more unique by getting them shaped in different varieties such as a picture of Christ, inlaid with a picture of the Last Supper or many other common themes for First Communion Invitations.
There are so many different styles to choose from that you'll find yourself lost for hours in the delight of 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.
Your child's First Communion is a holy time, filled with family, friends and the Holy Spirit.
You'll want to make sure that you invite those who attend church with you as well as relatives and friends, as well as your child's classmates or teachers if appropriate.
However you do it, make sure that the First Communion Celebration is fun for all, and a memorable experience.
Your child is entering into covenants with Christ and becoming an official part of the church and you'll want to make the occasion as special as possible.
Choosing the right party invitations is the perfect way to thank guests for attending, and to provide keepsakes that will last a lifetime.
