First Communion Gifts For Your Child's Holy Day

Jan. 11, 2010 - PRLog -- Your child is about to receive their First Communion. First of all, congratulations. This is a celebration that means a lot and you'll want to make sure that this First Communion celebration is an exciting and festive occasion for all who attend, and especially the child receiving their First Communion. One of the ways that your guests can show their love and appreciation is with First Communion Gifts.

If you want to make sure that the First Communion gifts that your child receives are in line with the spirit of the day you can require that any First Holy Communion gifts that are brought be more traditional and related to God somehow. This can be placed on the invitations so that parents know what type of First Communion presents to bring for your child.

If you don't mind if your child receives non-traditional and more fun gifts you can put that on your invites as well. Then, parents will know that they are free to purchase any First Communion keepsakes they choose, even though grandparents and more traditional guests may still bring First Communion gifts that are more traditional and related to the Church.

Some parents also put how much to spend on the gift on the invitation. This will keep family members and friends from spending too much on gifts for your child. Any gifts that are brought will be exciting for the child receiving the First Communion so buying expensive gifts will not be necessary. If there is a larger gift that is needed perhaps several people could buy it together.

A great idea is to allow family and friends to contribute towards the dresses or suits that your child will wear during the First Communion celebration. This will allow close family members a bigger part in the celebration and can save you a lot of money. Clothes are one of the most expensive parts of a First Communication and setting up gifting this way helps quite a bit.

Another great way for guests to provide gifts is to bring the food, or to decorate for the party and bring their own decorations. You can save money this way and many family members would prefer to help setting up the party rather than just bring a gift. This way, family members are involved in the entire process, because the adults and family will be the ones celebrating the Communion.

If you choose to go with the more traditional route for gifting, then there are literally hundreds of gifts to choose from. Many Catholic stores and websites offer specific First Communion gifts. There are great resources for getting First Communion gifts but make sure that you order early so that even if there issues shipping the items, then they will still arrive on time.

One thing that you'll want to consider is some kind of keepsake that has the name and date for the person receiving the First Communion to keep for years to come to remember their First Communion. Your child's First Communion is a holy and wonderful experience and you'll want lots of pictures and mementos to keep for a long time.
