We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I planned on giving our guests lovely communion favors to mark this special party. Religious shops didn’t have exactly what I was looking for, especially in my price range. So I hit the internet in search of the right favors for her party. There were quite a few lovely votive candles that worked out perfectly for table decoration. The teddy bears filled with candy were the first holy communion favors for the kids, and I picked out candies in pretty little tins for the adults. 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. It scares me a little to know that day will get here a lot sooner than I want it to. Her beautiful dress and veil made her look so much like a miniature bride. I guess a wedding reception and communion party isn’t all that much different. Just like at a reception, there was the decorated cake, a band for dancing and foods of all kinds to enjoy. We tried to keep things as simple as possible but at the same time show her how proud we were of her and make this a day she’ll never forget. 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. Like I said before we wanted to keep things as simple as possible and not go overboard, so me and some of the other moms made the food, and the only thing I ordered for it was the cake. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Our family and some of our closest friends enjoyed this wonderful afternoon with us. We all had such a wonderful time and it was a very lovely party. Her father and I had her name engraved on a beautiful gold cross we ordered for her, and there were many wonderful communion gifts she received from our guests, too.

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. When that day comes, at least I’ll have a heads up on where to find the supplies and accessories she’ll need. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and communion favor, right here on my computer. She’ll have plenty of accessories and wedding favors to choose from at my favorite online shopping site. I sort of gave the site the once over and checked out some of the items they have, and there is quite a selection for all kinds of events. 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. You can plan a great bridal or baby shower, or have a fantastic girls night out party with all the super accessories and suggestions they have to offer. You can choose from many themed ceremonies and receptions like oceanside weddings, or seasonal ones like winter wonderland and my particular favorite, western themed receptions. Anything you want for the perfect themed shower or birthday party is available, and the choices of accessories are really fantastic. That’s why I’m hanging on to my online shopping site, I know I’ll be using it quite often.
