A Festive First Communion

A first communion is a landmark celebration in the lives of many young boys and girls. While the ceremony itself is a cause for celebration, it is often the party afterwards that family and friends look forward to. We were excited to help Liz with this special celebration, as we had helped her plan and design her eldest son's communion a few years earlier.

Using pattern, texture, and pops of royal blue and lime green, we created this fun and festive backyard celebration for their closest family and friends. We custom designed the invitations, hand stamped paper cups, wrapped dozens of green flatware in napkins with ribbon, created a yummy candy and popcorn buffet, designed signage, and made a fun selfie scavenger hunt. After setting the tables and putting the finishing touches on the tent and pool areas, we left the guests to enjoy the fabulous food from Lattitude Restaurant. Also thanks to Michael's Party Rentals, BBJ Linen, Durocher Florist for the beautiful flowers, and Cakes by Amanda for the cake and chocolate chip cookies.
