The First Holy Communion is an important step in someone's religious life. Thus, it is important that you celebrate this wonderful day with your friends and family and make it something your child will never forget. Although it can be hard to plan a party alongside taking care of the ceremony. But there’s nothing to worry about, in this blog we’ve put together a few ideas to help you with the decoration of your party.
A great first step is to take care of the invitation cards. There’re a lot of options to choose from, like the classic version which in our opinion is the best version. Simple and elegant. You can always add a grapevine or an angel to suit your tastes. You can also choose cross-shaped cards or with similar designs, always a neat way to tie in the celebration with the accessories. Finally, you can scrap the paper cards and go with online cards, that you can adjust to better fit your ideals. Add the photo of your girl or boy, give it a more personalised look.
When it comes to the decoration it’s important that you take care of not only the seating arrangement but also the additional oomph. A backdrop light would go really well with the ceremony. This idea is great for both boys & girls. White fairy lights would suit either wonderfully and will add a lovely bright touch to a communion party. You can also create a photo wall for your child. From the birth of your child to the most recent picture, you can set it all up on a wall to help people remember how far they have come and the great memories you’ve all had. Connect with guests, friends and family as you reflect and look back on life. Now, coming back to the sitting arrangement. You can always add a beautiful centrepiece to add a touch of elegance to your party. Scented candles are one of the best and safest options to improve the mood while also symbolically celebrating the event with the light it sheds.
Finally, no party is complete without a cake. A rosary case is the most common choice of cake for First Holy Communion parties. The White cake with the favourite colour of your girl or boy as the colour for the rosary will be the cherry on top of everything for your party.
