Which First Communion favours will you go for?
Choosing the right First Communion favours is important, as guests will take them home as keepsakes from that special day. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect gift and surprise your loved ones:
- Look for a gift that reflects your child’s personality and interests, from their favourite colour to their favourite hobby. For example, if they love watching films, you could put together a kit for a popcorn-fuelled film session at home. They’ll absolutely love it!
- Go for practical, functional gifts that can be used or incorporated into a room’s decor at home. This is one way to make sure your First Communion favours aren’t left by the wayside.
- Personalise every favour! Your little one will definitely want to join in. You can spend time together as a family to make your First Communion favours even more special. Attach labels with your child’s name, or even add a card with a handwritten message from your little one. That will make the gift even more meaningful.
- No doubt this First Communion celebration has its own aesthetic, so make sure this look is reflected in your First Communion favours.
Follow these tips and you’ll have no trouble choosing favours that are so much more than just a gift – you’ll create wonderful, unforgettable memories.
