We planned a small party for our daughters first communion last week. I wanted to find communion favors that would not only be beautiful to the eye but have a spiritual touch to them. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. 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. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s communion party favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. 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 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. With all the pictures we took at her communion party, I’m so glad we decided to make the pink photo album an extra little communion gift for her. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. 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.
All through the party I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was practicing for the day she grows up and gets married. 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. At least when it does come to that, I’ll know where to send her for her wedding supplies and accessories for her reception. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and holly communion favor, right here on my computer. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. They carry a lot more than communion favors and accessories for weddings. I hung onto this website because I can use their accessories and decoration selections for birthdays and graduations I’ll be planning in the future. 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. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. 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.
