subject: Personalize Your Child's Holy Day With A First Communion Banner [print this page] If you have a First Communion on the way you'll have your hands full of food, decorations, gifts and clothing, and one thing that you'll need is the First Communion Banner. We'll show you how to choose the right banner, and how to save a little bit of money on this necessity as well as some neat First Communion Banner ideas to make your banner unique and special.
Of course, your first choice is what to put on the banner. Now, you can often find First Communion banners and other First Communion party supplies at regular party supply stores, especially in larger cities with a significant Catholic population, but many choose to get personalized First Communion banners instead.
One thing that you may want to keep in mind before buying the generic banners from specialty stores, or paying a company to design one for you, is to think about whether or not you have anyone in your family talented enough to make one for you. They could either design it on the computer or you could get them to actually paint it for you.
If you want to go with a printed banner from a coffee shop then if you don't include any design then you'll likely spend an average of one hundred to one hundred and fifty bucks for your 1st Communion banner. If you look online however, you will find that there are many online printers offering better deals and your First Holy Communion banners may not be that much.
You'll want a banner that is large enough to see, so I recommend one that is at least six feet long as two or two and a half feet wide. You can even go up to eight or ten feet if you want. Outdoor vinyl is a good choice for your banner and you can attach strings to the end of it to tie it up high where it will be instantly visible.
However, for those of you that like the homemade idea, then you can cut out your own piece of vinyl or whatever material you choose and set your artist to work with some paints. You can print out images and letters off your computer onto heavy paper and cut them into stencils or use stencils purchased from a store.
If you are planning to take photographs of the party, as you likely are, then you may want to make sure that you include the date of the First Communion and your child's name so that they show up clearly in photos. Your 1st Holy Communion personalized banner is totally yours and you can make it as bright as festive as you want.
First Communion banners don't require much cost or effort, especially if you are using a family member to make them and they make a big difference in the party, as well as allowing guests who are driving up to see the banner and know they are in the right place. Good luck with your First Communion celebration.
