If you want something that looks beautiful and rather traditional for your 1st Holy Communion invitations then you can go with 1st Communion invitations on cardstock with scripted fonts and fancy lettering. You can find these traditional invitations online, or if you need them quickly at your local printing shop.
If your party will be more festive you may want to go with a brighter, more colorful First Communion invite. You can choose from a variety of colors and styles. Many parents choose blue or pink for their First Communion invites either because that is the theme of the party, and the color of the dresses, or because the colors look great on invitations.
You can even make your invitations more unique by getting them shaped in different varieties such as a picture of Christ, inlaid with a picture of the Last Supper or many other common themes for First Communion Invitations. There are so many different styles to choose from that you’ll find yourself lost for hours in the delight of invitations.
You’ll want to include names and and dates on your invitations of course, with the Child’s name who is receiving it on their, perhaps their age and the date … time of the party. You may also want to include a map so that people can find the party, especially if it is at a location other than your home like a public park. Also include a phone number in case there are any questions.
One thing that you can do that guests will love you for is to set up a website after sending out the invitations and put the web address on the cards. This way it is easy for guests to RSVP, register for gifts or sign up for a potluck item, as well as allowing you to update any information that has changed.
This will work in conjunction with the cards that you send out in the mail, directing your guests to the web address for further information. You can make it simply, just one page with the updated information, or as complicated as your skills (or someone you know) will allow. This has become a great way to communicate with party guests in our modern world.
Your child’s First Communion is a holy time, filled with family, friends and the Holy Spirit. You’ll want to make sure that you invite those who attend church with you as well as relatives and friends, as well as your child’s classmates or teachers if appropriate.
These invitations will add to the overall fun of your party, and make it more enjoyable for all attending. This is a huge day after all, with your child making promises to God and becoming a member of the Church officially. You’ll want to make this unique occasion something special that everyone will remember and selecting the perfect invitations will be the first step, as well as giving your guests a keepsake of the party.
