Pure White Sets the Tone for First Communions

A child’s First Communion is a sacred milestone which often requires up to two years of religious education and preparation to receive. This religious occasion traditionally includes special attire and accessories. Girls often wear beaded hairpieces and veils, and gowns specifically designed for the occasion. These items frequently become treasured family heirlooms, so parents seek out a memorable and well-crafted wardrobe for the important event.

First Communion celebrations usually take place in the spring. Retailers interested in adding, or increasing sales in this category can get to know their local Catholic churches, and other Christian denominations, to determine their First Communion season, and offer promotional assistance, so that parishioners preparing for this sacrament know where to go for selection, service and value. Andrea’s Beau, Fantaisie Kids, and Simply Charming are a few quality brands offering angelic, one-of-a-kind gowns, veils, gifts, hairpieces, and other accessories to commemorate and celebrate this special day.
