Communion invitations trends
More than one photo – Conventional first communion invitations get a modern makeover by featuring multiple photos. You might want to use a baby picture and a current one, so all your guests can see how much your child has grown. Another option is to highlight a single portrait of your daughter in her pretty white dress or your son is his suit, as well including snapshots of him or her in casual clothes. And finally, you could choose one picture that illustrates a serious, prayerful pose, while another shows your child with a lighthearted, big broad smile.
Personalized with your words – You don’t need to settle for stock communion invitations that use the same text, but just substitute your information. More and more people are choosing to get creative with what their invites say. Make sure you include the details, such as you child’s name, date and time of the service, church name and address, time and place of the reception with the address, and how to RSVP But after that, you can share a favorite Scripture, poem or thought from your heart.
Think outside the box – that’s where you’ll find beautiful, simple designs that are not originally meant to be religious in nature. You don’t have to limit yourselves to invites created specifically for this occasion. Browse through birthday, wedding, save the date and anniversary categories until you find a design you like. Then let your child’s photo set the tone with your daughter in her white dress or your son in his suit, posed with a rosary, hands in prayer or a with a Bible. Add your favorite Bible verse and you can turn any regular photo invitation into a first communion invite. If you’re dealing with a company that does custom work, you can probably request that they add a cross or other Christian symbol to the card
