Your Child's Holy Day Will Be Personalized With The First Communion Banner

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.

You'll need to figure out what words you want on the banner, whether it be your child's name and the words First Communion or First Holy Communion. You can either go with personalized First Communion banners or you can get generic ones that just announced the 1st Communion, whichever way you prefer.

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.

We'll talk about how to create a beautiful homemade 1st Communion banner in a minute, but first let's discuss how much it will cost to have one printed. Depending upon the size and the material that you use your banner will run from around $50 bucks to a couple of hundred dollars at a conventional print shop. You can find printing stores online that sell First Holy Communion banners at a discount very often however.

As far as sizing goes you should probably at the very least get one six feet and perhaps even longer. It should be two to three feet wide as well, or wider if you have a lot of lettering. You should probably use outdoor vinyl for the material with strings that allow you to tie it to trees or other secure objects.

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.

What you put on your 1st Holy Communion personalized banner is up to you, but obviously to mark the occasion for pictures and such, you should put your child's name on the banner, as well as First Communion or First Holy Communion and the date of the party, that way it will show up in photographs.

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.
