Your daughter’s First Communion is a very special event. Seeing her so beautiful in her white communion dress and knowing that she is ready to participate in the Eucharistic celebration can make any parent want to throw a First Communion party! As a proud father, it is natural to want to celebrate your daughter’s First Communion. In fact, many moms and dads prepare weeks or even months in advance for their daughter’s First Communion party. Making the party enjoyable and memorable for your daughter and everyone else may seem like a difficult task, but planning and visualizing the event can help make this special party a success. Follow this checklist to help you get started:
Theme
Select an appropriate theme for the party. The theme may be related to First Communion or Holy Week. You can also go for non-religious themes like the princess theme or the Alice in Wonderland theme, where your daughter and her friends can simply wear their favorite Easter dresses for girls. Don’t forget to involve your daughter in the planning. Asking him how he feels about a particular topic will help you better plan the party.
invitations
A First Communion party is another wonderful opportunity to bring family and friends together.
Think about inviting special people to your daughter’s First Communion party, as this is also a good time to share with them. Once you’ve put together a guest list, find time to call them ahead of time so they can be properly informed about when and where the party will be. Instead of buying expensive cards, send simple DIY invitations.
coming
Choose a place according to the budget and the space you need. Consider how many people will be coming and what activities are included. Gardens, spacious patios, local parks, and even church meeting halls are great venues for parties that cost little or nothing. If you think cleaning or preparing food is too much of a chore, you can always make a reservation at your favorite restaurant. Most restaurants offer party packages that include entertainment and free use of their banquet halls. Don’t forget to prepare a medley of upbeat Christian songs for the party. You can also use scented candles, white balloons and ribbons to decorate the place.
food
It is advisable to confirm the attendance of your guests. Do a final visitor count one day before the occasion. Cook or bake any food that you can prepare ahead of time. Serve deliciously healthy food that kids love. Get extra party supplies so you don’t have to leave the party if you run out of things. To make the table look even more presentable, use a basket of beautiful flowers or fruit as a centerpiece.
Activities
What’s a party without games or fun activities? Who said that daughters in their first communion dresses can’t have fun at communions? Although her daughter looks perfect in her beautiful dress, don’t forget that she is still a little girl who wants to have fun at her own Communion party. Plan activities that both children and adults will enjoy at the party. Face painting, dancing, playing some fun family games like Pin the Tail and Bible trivia games, even hiring a clown or magician to put on a magic show can almost certainly provide hours of entertainment.
