Holy Communion THEME |
 |
In the tradition of Catholicism, a child’s First Holy Communion is a time for celebration. In many families, the Mass is followed by a luncheon at the family’s home or perhaps meeting in a restaurant for a late morning or early afternoon brunch, depending on which church service you attended for that day.
A child must first be baptized if he or she has not already before receiving the First Holy Communion. This is a day of celebration for both the family of the child and the parish because it is a recognition that the child is giving himself in to the teachings of his church and understands what he or she is doing. This event usually occurs around the age of seven, but it can vary among children, depending on their level of comprehension of the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The celebration that follows is not particularly a party but more of a celebration with family members sharing in the events leading up to the child partaking of the sacrament. Typically, little girls wear a white dress and boys a suit on this particular day. In some families, the celebration may filter over to the dinner meal, making the entire day a day of prayer and celebration for the child who has first partaken of the Eucharist. Of course, for non-Catholics, the celebration is not such a big one because it is a more solemn event in other denominations.
A celebration of a child’s First Holy Communion is also likely to consist of a great many pictures so that family members will always remember the event. This may also mean that the home is decorated in typical religious style finery in order to keep the mood of the day focused on the child and his greatest accomplishment within the church family.

Holy Communion Cake Ideas
A Holy Communion is a sacred ceremony that should be marked with a dignified celebration; one that warrants an elegant, subtle, but still delicious Holy Communion party cake.
A basic chocolate or vanilla cake topped with fluffy white icing would make an ideal—not to mention easily prepared—Holy Communion party cake. If topped by party supplies such as lace doilies and paper lace hearts, the cake could bear an impressive resemblance to a Holy Communion gown. Other cake toppers could include small plastic dolls adorned in these dresses, as well as tiny crosses in shades of gold and ivory.
A cross also would make an ideal shape to fit a Holy Communion party cake theme. This cake could be baked in a cross-shaped pan; alternately, two separate cakes could be prepared in long, narrow pans and merged together to form a cross shape. This cake could be adorned with ivory-hued icing and gold sprinkles for effect.
As a wine glass is another classic symbol of the Holy Communion ceremony, one also might prepare a Holy Communion party cake with this design. Just make sure that the glass represented bears more of a likeness to a stately gold tankard than a more modern snazzy champagne flute!

Holy Communion Party Music Play Lists
Music plays a key role in any spiritual celebration; that is why every soulful celebration should come complete with a playlist that is both rhythmic and reverent, tuneful and timeless. Songs could include:
Will the Circle Be Unbroken by Johnny Cash and Family
Amazing Grace by Celtic Thunder
Looking For You by Kirk Franklin
Lose My Soul by TobyMac
His Eye is On the Sparrow by the Gaither Vocal Band
Angel by Sarah McLachlin
I Saw the Light by Hank Williams Sr.
Just a Closer Walk With Thee by Patsy Cline
A pure mixture of gospel classics and contemporary Christian favorites, this playlist is sure to please everyone in attendance at a holy party; which also should boast a full supply of beautiful, inspirational party supplies. These could include spiritual wall art that depicts images of Jesus Christ and scenes taken from the Bible; crosses of gold and silver hues adorning the walls; tiny take home Bibles that can serve as very meaningful party favors; and a party table centerpiece that could include a stone or porcelain sculpture of hands folded in prayer. Murals and scene setters bearing the likeness of stained glass would make another nice addition to a beautiful holy party.
