One of the most important events for any Catholic family is First Communion. It is often celebrated with a gathering of family and friends after a day's church services. Favors are usually given to all of the guests as a way of thanking them for joining the family on this special occasion. There is huge amount of different choices available to be given as Communion favors, and you can even personalize them as well.
Votive Candles - Votive-style candles are tiny candles that are about an inch and a half to two inches tall and an inch in diameter. They are available in both scented and fragrance-free varieties. You can also get personalized votive candles with a special and unique label on them printed with your child's whole name, a small picture or stylized design, and First Communion date.
Fans - There are many places that offer either folding-type fans or paperboard-type fans that you can get specially personalized. Giving guests fans with your child's name and First Communion date on it make for fantastic favors. People will also appreciate having something to fan themselves with if the church happens to be a little too warm.
Bracelets - A growing fad is to wear brightly colored rubber bracelets. There are numerous on-line shops and party supply shops that carry these rubber bracelets with religious symbols and phrases on them. They can make fantastic Communion favors when there are going to be a large number of young ones attending.
Bubbles - Novelty bottles of bubbles are very easy to find at any party supply store and on the internet. You can usually have them personalized if you like with the date of the First Communion, your child's name, and even a small picture or symbol at an affordable price. Bubbles make great Communion favors when there are going to be a good number of young children attending. Children love receiving bottles of bubbles.
Candies - Getting chocolates or other packaged candies with your child's name and the First Communion date printed on front of the packaging is a good idea. Mind to the weather and temperature when you intend on purchasing candy as Communion favors - if it is too hot, chocolate could very well melt and make an unruly mess. Mints are a good alternatives if chocolates are out of the question. Many party supply shops sell individually wrapped mints with religious designs printed right on the wrapping covers.
Programs - A program printed up of the special day's events with sayings and pictures can make a very nice keepsake that people will love to hold onto. Using high quality and colorful paper along a decorative font can change the program from a useful piece of paper to charming keepsake for everyone to remember this special day.
The favors that you choose should be completely determined on who will be attending the First Communion and after-celebration. If there are a lot of young children that are going to attend, consider child-friendly favors like bubbles or bracelets. If it is going to be mostly adults that are attending, think about giving them something they can save such as a fan or a program.
