When I was on my second grade, I was not able to attend my first communion. I don’t know what was the real reason why but all I could remember was I had my first communion private at my aunt’s place.

Here in the Philippines, first communion happens when the child reaches the age of eight. That is when a child is already on its second grade of elementary. In the US, I am not sure at what age a child goes to his or her first communion but all I know is that they send invitations to family and friends. They invite them to witness their child’s first communion.

As for me, giving first communion invitations is also cool. It would be nice that members of the family and friends can witness your child’s milestone. It gives your child a sense of importance.

Anyway, how about you? Do you like the idea of giving out first communion invitations?
