How to Choose a Location for a First Communion Party

The location of your child's First Communion party will help set the tone for the party. Take some time and plan the party that you and your child want to have. Whether you have a backyard barbeque or a brunch at the local country club, help her celebrate this special day in a way she will always remember.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Think about if you want your party to be formal or informal. Before you can choose a location you must know what type of party you want to have.
2. Decide how much money you want to spend on the First Communion party. Parties do not have to be expensive to be fun, but a large brunch at a Country Club will cost a lot more than a barbeque in your backyard.
3. Pick a time for the party. You will need a different location for a brunch immediately after church than you will for a party that lasts all afternoon.
4. Figure out how many people you want to invite. The location needs to be big enough to hold a large gathering or cozy enough for a small family affair.
5. Research available sites based on your answers to above questions. Once you have these questions answered you can look and see what your town has that can meet your needs.
6. Talk to your child about the party plans. Remember it is his party. Let him give as much input as you can within reason.
7. Call and make reservations if you need them. You are not the only one having a First Communion party that day.

Tips & Warnings
