First Communion Favors

Although a child's First Holy Communion day is a special day for all the family and friends, as they participate in the holy day of the sacrament, it also means a special time to spend with family and friends who may not have seen each other for a long time, so why not throw an after party so that everyone can get together, just like a family reunion! A child's holy communion day is a once in a lifetime event, so it stands to reason that there should be a big party to celebrate.

These days, you can do it yourself, or you can have it all catered for and planned for, or you can go with a combination of somewhere between the two extremes. Starting at the end of having everything done, a party planner is probably not necessary for this event, however obtaining all of the coordinating party supplies, is certainly easy and sets a wonderful coordinated theme at the party. There are many religious party packs available online that can be delivered directly to your door, so there is also not even a need to leave the house if you are a busy parent.

Naturally most themes are based around religious icons like crosses and chalices, but Precious Moments also make a nice range of party supplies with boys and girls praying. There are a whole range of coordinating party supplies including 1st Holy Communion party favors, cups, plates, napkins, table clothes, wall decorations, balloons, personalized banners and much more. Just pick the theme that you like the most and they can all be shipped to you in the mail.

Receiving First Communion favors are one of the most anticipated activities of the day. Every child loves to receive a gift, as do adults some times. Giving out party favors, or goody bags, has become traditional these days at lost of different styles of parties from baby showers to weddings. They are a small gift, or memento that is handed to the guests at a party before they leave, which shows appreciation for their attendance and also as a thank you for the gifts that they have bought.

First Communion party favors don't need to be expensive. There are lots of quality small items available to hand out to everyone at the after party. Some are serious and pleasant, others are fun and funky. Choose your style, or perhaps get a combination of both. The funniest one I have seen is the personalized rice crispys and the Hershey bars. What a great idea. Personalizing party favors is a great idea, as it makes the party host feel more special and it also acts as a souvenir for the guest to take home.

There are many gorgeous items available like candles, marked with a cross, or other religious icons like angels, mint tins personalized with the details of the day, chocolate bars, chocolate pops, cake tins and a wide range of cutsie gifts.

One of the best ones that I have seen though which works perfectly for adults and children, is a small photo frame. These can be personalized and a photo of the child on the day added, so that they will remember this special day forever.
