With The First Communion Banner You Can Personalize Your Child's Holy Day

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.

However, there are a couple of ideas to consider before buying generic or getting a custom made banner from a copy shop or printing company. If you have someone with artistic skills, whether they be actual paint-and-palette skills or simply computer design skills you can get a banner made for much less.

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.

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.

To make a homemade banner cut the material that you choose for it into whichever size you want and get out some paints for the artist you have chosen. You'll probably want to use stencils or hand draw the letters and images with pencil first. You can print out images from your computer onto card stock and make your own stencils if you want.

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.

There are many options for First Communion Banners and choosing to have someone in your family make them, especially someone that requires little or no supervision can certainly save you a lot of party planning time and quite a bit of money, or you can choose to go with an experienced company for a professional looking banner. Either way, I'm sure it will look great!
