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. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. So I decided to check online and see what items they may have for our communion party. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. 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 communion party favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. They were so pretty that I thought I’d buy some for my bookshelf as well.
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 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. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We tried to keep things as simple as possible but at the same time show her how proud we were of her and make this a day she’ll never forget. 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. 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. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. 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 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 that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and communion favor, right here on my computer. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. 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. You can choose from many themed ceremonies and receptions like oceanside weddings, or seasonal ones like winter wonderland and my particular favorite, western themed receptions. 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.
