Western Themed 1st Communion Party

This fun WESTERN THEMED FIRST COMMUNION PARTY was submitted by Susana & Clara of DULCESOBREMESA! So cute! So many adorable ideas that would be perfect for a birthday party or baby shower, even!

Susana said this about planning the party- “We styled this party for a modern First Communion celebration. The Western theme was a surprise for Raul, a very sweet boy who loves horses, cowboys and Playmobil® toys.

We created a single backdrop that we used for three different Western scenes that took place during this day-long celebration at different spots of Raul’s home.

First, as guests arrived they had their pictures taken at the photocall. A few hours later, cake and favors were provided after lunch was served We designed this cake that features a real Playmobil® figurine on top and the First Communion boy modeled figure at the bottom, who just joined the party and is wearing a cowboy hat. The cake was served on wooden plates with decorated wooden spoons, napkins and a mini flag topper. The favors were drawing pads and small chocolate boxes, also designed by us.

At last, the sweets table was presented with many yummy treats! Gummy hamburgers & sodas, cupcakes, popcorn, ham and cheese brioches, mini waffles with Nutella, ice pops, candy stones and a bank of m&m’s filled gold ingots.

As everything was designed and handmade by us with lots and lots of love!”

Aqua and Yellow Ice Cream Party

This darling AQUA & YELLOW ICE CREAM PARTY was submitted by Malgenio Workshop. The party was created for a first communion and 1st birthday, but could easily be a baby shower. So many ideas! I adore the ice cream cart! All the rosette flowers and gold / yellow stars couldn’t be cuter, too.

Malgenio Worshop said- “Andrea was going to celebrate her first communion at Jose Carlos Garcia restaurant at Muelle 1. When his mother called us to decorate the party, we jumped of joy in the studio, we love this restaurant! After talking with her and knowing all the details about the restaurant we knew that we would do something really beautiful, they had great taste, the place was perfect and the chairs were the most beautiful chairs in the world… Aquamarine, that would be the guide for the decoration, a little bit of yellow details and lots of white to highlight the vertical garden, but the main color was going to be aquamarine, such a beautiful color, isn’t it? We get to work! We adorned the candy cart in the chosen color, a star print was made, inspired in the communion’s reminder which was done way before. Then we carried on with the decoration: banners, decorative items with tissue paper and balloons, many, many floating balloons. The mother insisted us that she wanted the kid’s dancefloor roof filled with balloons tied with ribbons hanging from them, this was the first time we’ve done something like this, but when we saw the final result it really surprised us, the effect was … magical.”

Shabby Chic First Communion {Birthday Party Inspiration}

This beautiful SHABBY CHIC FIRST COMMUNION PARTY was submitted by Melissa Theil Collar of Buckets of Grace. So much inspiration here! So many ideas for a birthday party, baby shower or bridal shower, too!

Melissa said- “My daughter Grace’s First Communion was one week prior to her 8th birthday. We celebrated her birthday with our family the same day as her First Communion. I wanted her to feel that both special events were celebrated. I worked with Carli of Dimple Prints to create the perfect Shabby Chic printables for the celebration. They were gorgeous! I used a lot of burlap elements and lace to get the shabby chic feel. I also incorporated a lot of doily elements, including my scotcheroo pops! My family has several celiacs so it is always important to me to make sure we have gluten free treats on the sweets table. Kim from Sweeties by Kim was kind enough to make gluten free chocolate covered Oreos. They were delicious! The day was perfect and full of memories.” Vendors and Credits: Party Styling- Buckets of Grace Printables- Dimple Prints Gluten Free Oreos- Sweeties by Kim

Nautical, Ocean Themed First Communion Party

I think you’re going to love this Nautical Themed First Communion Party submitted by Judith Cardona of Happy Party in Spain!

In Judith’s words- “WELCOME ABOARD! The colors used for this nautical communion party were red, white and blue. In the entrance, there was a lifeguard that welcomed you on board. This charming place was perfect for the photo booth with guests. The room was organized in two tables: one for children and one for adults. For the children´s table a colorful and funny decoration; paper boats, real fishes, shells and color pencils + paper + stickers. On the ceiling were red balloons and white garlands like waves. On the communion chair were two red balloons and red ribbons. For the adults table, there was a more sophisticated decoration: soft colors, wooden boats, bottles with SOS message, flags, stones and shells. The party favors were blue bags filled with candies.”
