We planned a small party for our lovely daughters first communion last week. I wanted to give out an unforgettable communion favors that would have a religious theme to them. The gifts in the shops I went to just didn’t strike my fancy. Then I thought about going online to shop for party favors. I did find a nice selection of candles for our tables. I chose decorative tins filled with candy for the grown ups and the children received candies packaged in adorable little teddy bear containers as their communion party favors. I found the most lovely little picture frames with crosses on them and decided to get everyone an extra gift. I also ordered a couple extra of them for our house, to put my childrens pictures in.
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. I know that day isn’t as far ahead of us as I would like it to be. All she needed was a little bouquet and she would look exactly like a tiny little bride. I suppose planning a party for her communion isn’t all that different from the someday wedding reception I’ll be helping her to plan. We ordered a cake, had lots of food for everyone and even had a band. 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. I also bought a girls pink photo album for her to have as her very own with pictures of her first holy communion day and the party with her friends and family. We didn’t have a caterer or anything real fancy, it was all home cooked food and some of the other moms helped with preparing the meal. There were at least four different kinds of salads, including a great tasting potato salad, and vegetable dishes, fried chicken and more. Just a nice dinner to share with our friends and loved ones. 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. Someday, not too far away, we’ll be filling out invitations and picking out wedding accessories together. When she’s ready to start planning her wedding and reception, I’ll know the perfect place for her to go shopping. I’ll go to the same place I bought our decorations and first 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. If you are planning a bachelorette party, or a shower for a bride to be, or maybe you want to throw a baby shower for a close friend or family member, if so, this is the place to find all of your accessories. There were even fantastic accessories for themed weddings like, beach, winter wonderland, country western and so many more. 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.
