If you have a First Communion in the near future then your life is likely a flurry of preparations, and we feel for you. However, there is an important part of the first holy communion ceremony that you don’t want to miss. First Communion medals are an integral part of your coming-of-age party and you’ll want to choose wisely.
There are many First Holy Communion medals to choose from including medals that were constructed in stunning displays of gold or silver. There are many different types of materials for 1st Communion medals and the in-stock pieces have the words First Communion, or some variation, inscribed upon them, or you can have your own personal inscription.
While you are shopping religious medals keep in mind that you’ll want something high quality to mark this event, as it is an important time for both you and your child as they take on the responsibilities of a full fledged Church member and you’ll want a keepsake that will match that level of important. This is why materials like gold and silver are a great choice for First Communion jewelry.
This tradition began in the middle ages with handcrafted medals as children began their responsibilities in the Church and you can continue this wonderful way of celebrating in your own home, giving your little boy or girl Catholic medals that they can always wear to remind them of their First Communion celebration.
When choosing 1st Holy Communion medals there are some important things to keep in mind. This type of Catholic Jewelry comes in a variety of materials, we’ve already discussed that, but there are a few others things to look for when choosing First Communion medals. If you are shopping at a Catholic Bookstore, or online at a Catholic website, then much of the work may have been done for you.
You’ll want to be careful that you don’t pay too much for your First Communion medals by making sure that the material and craftsmanship is worth the price. Many places sell Catholic medals and they may mark up the price specifically because they are intended for First Communion, or based upon similar pieces that they have seen at Catholic bookstores and websites.
This is an item that you’ll want to keep safe and nice, so the First Communion medal should come with a case and a chain. The chain should be sturdy with a good clasp so that the medal will not get lost accidentally, and the case should be decorative and made to display the medal in case your child wants to put it on a shelf or desk.
First Communion medals are a terrific way to celebrate this event and make it memorable by providing a keepsake that your child will treasure among their most prized possessions. They will remember their 1st Communion for the rest of their life with a keepsake such as this, and by doing so, remember their commitment to Christ upon the time of the 1st Holy Communion.

First Communion rosary beads are something that many parents choose to give to their children for their First Communion. This gift is a sure bet for many moms and dads or other members of the family because each child needs a rosary of their own, especially after their First Communion, and you’ll want your child to have a rosary that he or she can feel is their own.
1st Communion rosary beads are a common gift so make sure that you get with your other party-goers to plan out who is giving what, so that your child doesn’t receive identical gifts. You’ll also need to consider what type of rosary beads you are getting, whether they be standard Catholic rosary beads or rosary necklaces to wear.
This makes a great choice as far as First Communion gifts go even for the most traditional of parents, because your child’s rosary is their connection to God and will allow their faith in Christ and His Church to continue to grow and expand as they use their First Holy Communion rosary beads in their everyday communications with God.
One snag that parents sometimes run into is deciding how much to spend or how fancy to go with the First Communion jewelry. You may not want to go with cheap jewelry for this special day. The thing to keep in mind is that you want these rosary beads to last a lifetime, so I recommend gold or silver, and you also can hold onto them until your child is older if you are concerned about them getting lost.
The rosary’s purpose is to allow you to reach God and for members of The Church to mediate on the Life of Christ as well as The Holy Mother and the history of the rosary can be traced back to the 2nd century when monks were given sets of prayers by the Leity to use in daily prayer and meditation.
The Rosary prayers are an integral part of life as a member of His Church and they make perfect First Communion gifts since they are something that is both required and appreciated when your child comes of age and takes upon them the Commitments of Christendom and the Name of Christ. Giving a rosary to a child will help to ensure that their faith is solid for a long time to come.
Something that is often done at First Communions is to get several people together to purchase expensive gifts such as high quality rosaries. If you are planning to get your child a gold or silver rosary then you may want to think about asking other members of your close family to pitch in, so that it will be affordable.
Explain to your child how the rosary is used, perhaps some of the history or whatever you feel is appropriate for your child when you give the rosary beads and they will have much more of an impact and significance. Do as Jesus did and teach with stories, so that your children will remember for a very long time how special the rosary is.
One of the things that you may be thinking about is First Communion dresses if you have a First Communion for your little girl coming up. The First Communion dress is an important one, symbolizing the relationship that your child has with Jesus and you will want the perfect First Holy Communion dress.
The first thing that you’ll need to decide is what color to go with. First Communion dresses for girls come in many different colors, but most parents choose to go with white, simply because of the symbolism. 1st Communion dresses are white because they symbolize the marriage of Christ and your child, where the Bride and Bridegroom become one.
You’ll also want to determine how much you are wanting to spend on one, and where the best places to get one are. There are no specific requirements for a First Communion dress, and buying First Holy Communion Dresses from a Catholic store, or specialty party store will cause you to pay more for the dress than you actual need to. Look in your local kids clothing store first, before you visit the specialty stores.
If you are going to deck your little girl out with all of the accessories such as gloves or First Communion veils then you may have to try a Catholic shop or a store that specifically has First Communion products, since these may not be available in the right sizes in a regular stores, or even at all.
Things that go along with First Communion dresses religion clothing, besides the veil include gloves that match the pattern on the dress as well as headbands or headpieces with frills and lace. If the weather is cold and you are having the celebration outside, then you may want to invest in shawls or jackets or a sweater that works well with the dress. There are many other accessories as well.
As for prices they vary considerable. Many times websites that specialize in First Communion dress will have a new line for each year so those top of the line, latest style items may cost anywhere from $100 to $300 just for the dress. However, you can also get discontinued or discounted styles if you look, or go used if you prefer.
As far as other accessories a pair of gloves may run anywhere from $10 to $20 and sometimes as much as thirty, and for headpieces depending upon complexity it will be about the same. You can find discounted items for these as well, and other accessories include cross necklaces, rosaries or purses that go along with the dress.
You also won’t want to forget shoes, which will run a bit more than the other accessories. First Communion shoes are fairly simple and match the dress color, and can run from $20 to $50 depending upon which site you visit, and which type of shoe that you pick. Also, you may be able to find entire outfits together for a discounted price.
