1st Communion Invitations Ideas & Samples

First Holy Communion is a major milestone in any young Catholic boy’s or girl’s life. Receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist is indeed an occasion worth celebrating. The First Holy Communion party should make a good 1st impression to your guests with personalized Communion invitations. Depending on your family, church, and personal preferences, there are many different forms that your Communion cards may take.


Sophisticated: For a simple, classy party, sophisticated invitations are the perfect way to go. Traditional colors like white and minimal design elements will create elegant 1st Communion invitations. Layered, deckled, or lace cards are a great way to accent a sophisticated card.


Modern: Modern cards are becoming an increasingly popular way to invite friends and family to Holy Communion celebrations. Colors like kiwi, blue, and pink, are some of the most common sights. Photographs of your child may even be included for a truly modern twist on Communion invites.


Unique: Unique invitations are a great way to put personality into your Communion cards. This event will be remembered for your child’s entire life, so why not have fun with it and make your invitations a reflection of your son or daughter’s personality? Unique invitations come in all shapes and sizes, they can be classified as anything that doesn’t fit into any of these other categories.


Classic: Classic invitations are the most popular way to invite guests to a First Communion party. Familiar design elements including crosses, doves, rosary beads, and neutral colors are all very religious and classic. You can never go wrong with elegantly designed, classic First Communion invitations.


Blend of Tradition and Modern: This is my favorite type. I feel that it is important to incorporate classic ideas and traditions and blend them with a more modern outlook. Crosses and rosary beads paired with trendy colors can be a subtle way of showing off the modern and traditional aspects of your life.


You may also want to purchase matching thank you notes and response cards to complete any invitation set. Save the date cards are also available, but not necessary. Photo keepsakes are a great idea to commemorate and cherish your child’s 1st Communion. Lace-cut bookmarks with your son or daughter’s photo and personalized text can make great keepsakes.


Picking the perfect First Communion invitations can take time and patience. As long as you try to put your own style and personality into your 1st Holy Communion invitations, you can never go wrong.
