Choosing the design for your communion invitation
The first step in creating an invitation is choosing its look, and a communion invitation is no exception.
You have two choices when it comes to choosing the style of your invitation: have it professionally designed, or do it yourself. If you opt for a professional, you can call in a graphic designer. To do this, you'll need to give the designer as much information as possible, so that he or she can design an invitation worthy of your expectations. However, you can also consult specialized websites for pre-designed announcements by graphic designers. These platforms offer several proposals, and it's up to you to decide, taking into account whether it's for a girl or a boy, as well as the theme of the event.
And if you've opted for a DIY or do-it-yourself invitation to get something authentic, you can rely on your handicraft skills if you have them. But before you start designing, you need to know a little about the child in question, so you can create a beautiful announcement in the image of one of these communion announcements. If you're not good at handicrafts, you can look at tutorials to help you, but you can also add your own personal touch.
What to write on a communion card
On the front, you'll need to include important information such as the date and time of the special day, the church where the mass will be held and the location of the reception. And on the reverse, you can include a passage from the Bible or a quotation relevant to a first communion?
The right time to send your announcement
As we discovered earlier, there are many ways to create a communion announcement, but it's all in vain if it's not sent to your loved ones at the right time. The best time to send it is three months before the big day, so your guests have plenty of time to prepare.
We hope you've been able to discover the different possibilities open to you when creating a communion announcement, and how crucial it is to send an announcement at the best of times.
