Wonderful communion favor

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

We had a lovely little communion party for our daughter. I planned on giving our guests lovely communion favors to mark this special party. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. So I decided to check online and see what items they may have for our communion party. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. There were also candy tins that were perfect to set out on the tables for our adult guests and little teddy bear containers with candies for the children’s communion party favors. As extra party favors I ordered these really sweet religious picture frames with a silver cross. I liked them so much, I bought two more for myself.

It was almost like we were looking for her wedding dress, instead of a dress for her communion. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. She looked like a little bride now with the lovely white dress and veil she was wearing. I guess in a way when you are planning a communion party it’s a little bit like planning a wedding reception. We had a cake decorated for the occasion, hired a band and made a buffet of different foods for the guests. We wanted to make this a day she would always remember, without going overboard on decorations or accessories. 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. I did go to a bakery for her cake, but as far as the food, we didn’t use caterers, some of the ladies helped me out by preparing some dishes of their own to bring. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. We had a fantastic dinner to share with our family and our best friends. It turned out to be a very nice evening and everyone seemed to have a good time, including our daughter. She got a lot of very nice gifts from everyone and her father and I bought her a lovely gold cross with her name engraved on the back.

All during the party I was picturing her wedding day and I could see my little girl walking down the aisle to join her husband to be. I know that day is not so far away and we will be sitting down checking out the online selection for wedding favors and accessories. 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. There is quite a selection of wedding supplies and decorations for both ceremony and reception. 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. In fact, I saved this particular site to my desktop, because there are also quite a few suggestions for birthdays and graduations. 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. There are all kinds of themed wedding accessories too, beautiful beach wedding accessories, gorgeous winter wonderland supplies and the perfect items for a big country western wedding and reception. There is also accessories for themed showers, birthday parties and more. It’s a good thing I know the perfect online shopping store, I’m sure I’ll have a lot of opportunities to use it.
