First Communion Gifts

A special occasion calls for a special gift. But what is considered appropriate? What will make her smile? What will make a lasting impression? Today we’re sharing some First Communion Gifts that are just right for that special girl’s big day. Whether you’re her parent, Godparent or a special friend, these gifts are appropriate and heart-felt.

First Communion Gifts from Godparents: As her Godparent, you hold a special role in that little girl’s eyes. Just as you have been, you’ll be there for her through the rough times and the good times. The role of Godparent is a sacred calling. You’re one of her religious role models. Therefore, a religious gift would be appropriate form you. Many Godparents co-ordinate with the parents to get her all the religious things she’ll need or like to have. So, what’s the perfect gift from you? Here are a few options:

First Communion Gifts from Parents: As her parents, you probably know exactly what your child will want or need for her First Communion. May we make a suggestion? Give her a special trinket that she’ll adore and treasure for the rest of her life. It will remind her of the importance of this special day, and of your love for her. We suggest a pretty piece of jewelry. Here are some gorgeous ones:

First Communion Gifts from Friends: As her friend, you are a major source of support in her life decisions. Depending on how close you are, you’ll want to either let her family take care of the religious gifts or co-ordinate with them. Here are a few gifts that show your support and congratulations for her special event:

May Flowers: Miss Lauren First Communion Dress

After all it is Communion season, but at the same time it’s also May Flower season! So I wanted to highlight the two together by showcasing our dresses with a theme of May Flowers: Miss Lauren First Communion Dress. This is such an important time in a young girl’s life and you want her to be showcased beautifully. A dress is a great way to showcase her personality. The Miss Lauren is great for sweet girls that want something with a little flow when she walks and a pouffy skirt.

We love the simple lines we created with this dress and how the skirt is just the right amount of pouf for her to have a beautiful gown. Some events in life require a more understated gown and this one is perfect for those occasions with just a touch of flare, with another bow in the back at the belted waistline.

To order this darling First Communion dress for your little Miss’ big day, or for anything she needs a simple white dress for, go here for the Miss Lauren.

The Miss Lauren is a simple and elegant, 100% polyester taffeta A-line dress that is perfectly dress-up with out being too fussy. Featuring a dainty cap sleeve, scoop neckline and a draped bow at the waist with a flower detail perfect for May Day. With a fabric belt it helps give a feminine waist that is age appropriate. Zipper closure in back, made in the USA.

Accessories to add can include a Dew Drop Veil, a White Rosary, and Satin Mary Jane shoes. These items add a finishing touch to her attire of the day and help her to feel extra special.

First Communion Traditions: Ideas to make your child’s First Communion memorable

Her First Communion is a very special occasion. After all, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. Make her big day memorable with these First Communion traditions!

Have a special breakfast.

A good breakfast always makes the day go better! Cook up their favorite breakfast food and make a mini celebration out of it! This would be a good time to let them open their special Communion gift.

Present a special gift to them.

A little something special to send them off with will let them know you’ll be thinking of them during the ceremony. Tell them you hope the little trinket will let them know just how much you love them. We like the idea of a special piece of jewelry for a girl and a tie tack for a boy. These mementos will be cherished long after the festivities are over.

Let them dress in special clothes.

Splurge on a fancy new dress or suit. For a girl, get a veil and all the accessories. For a boy, consider an old-fashioned Communion armband. A new outfit will let them know this is a special day that means a lot to you and will mean a lot to them as well.

Invite your child’s Godparents.

Your child will appreciate the support of her Godparents on this big day!

Have a professional photo shoot.

Invest in a professional photographer to preserve the memory of this special day. You’ll never regret having a good photo taken.

Throw a First Communion Party.

Invite all her friends and family to celebrate the occasion with you! Make a special cake and serve your little sunshine’s favorite foods. Put out decorations! Make it extra special for your child by stringing a banner with their name on it. Make their First Communion day all about them!

Light their Baptism candle at dinner.

The baptism candle is traditionally lit at special occasions like a child’s First Holy Communion. Dinner time is perfect for a little candle-light!

Say a special prayer for your child at dinner.

Finish the days festivities off with a special, heartfelt prayer.

Have your child get their items blessed by the priest.

After they receive their gifts, take them to Mass with you the next Sunday and have your child request that the priest bless them.
