Our daughter made her first holy communion last week and we had a small party for her special day. 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. 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 favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. 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. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. 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. 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. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. We had fried chicken, potato salad, vegetables and a few different types of salads. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. 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.
I couldn’t help but feel that this was a practice run for her wedding and reception. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. They have so much to offer in the 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. There is even more than communions and weddings to check out too. This online shopping spot will come in handy in the future when I have to plan for birthdays, graduations and other important events. If you are planning a bachelorette party, or a shower for a bride to be, or maybe you want to throw a baby shower for a close friend or family member, if so, this is the place to find all of your accessories. 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. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.
