One of the most memorable celebrations for Catholic families is the day of their child's First Communion. The First Communion is the culmination of a few years of learning about the sacrament and the traditions of the church. Regardless of the size of the actual celebration, it is accustomed to give a small gift to the guests who join in the celebration. These gifts or favors, serve both as a thank you to the guests for being part of the festivities, and as a token to remember this special day by. In this post, I will share different ideas for favors both unique and traditional, along with resource links to different places you can purchase these items.
Most of the following items can be purchased on the internet, some even in local specialty stores in your area. The websites mentioned in the article are ideas of where you can purchase the favors, but they may be subject to certain limitations based on the area where you live. I would suggest researching the sites further to find the most suitable place for you to purchase your favors. I love the convenience of shopping on the internet, therefore I will happily provide the links for you in the hopes I can save you some time and money.
