Things Your Daughter Need For First Communion

It's the First Communion season and most Moms are in the search for the things that little girls need for First Communion.

First of course is to find the appropriate White First Communion Dress for your child. It should follow the "rules" given by the Church or Parish where your child will take her First Communion. 
I believe that some Churches do not allow certain Communion dresses designs or cuts. So best to call or visit your Parishes for proper information. 

Second First Communion Veil should be just the proper length. You don't want your child to walk like a little bride if you overdo it. 

Third is an open heart. The child should be well prepared spiritually too. The child should have understood what the ceremony was about and what it meant. This is explained during the preparation classes/seminars they take prior to the First Communion day.

A White Dress for Father and Daughter Dance

Simple Tips for Having a New Look with an Old Dress

Father and daughter dances are one of the most nostalgic experiences daughters can ever have.   I even get misty-eyed whenever I remember the last time my dad and I had a dance during one of those school Valentine’s parties.  Lots of sweet memories with dad captured in photos.   Hey, I noticed the cute dresses that I wore during those parties.  Unlike from my old photos, I did not look funny in those dresses because the party dresses I wore then were never out of style.  Thanks to mom for choosing the right party dresses for me. 

Now, I also consider the same standards in choosing a dress for my daughter.  Like my mom, I love classic style of party dresses for my daughter. With the fact in mind that trendy clothes might not be the trend 10 years from now, I would always go for classic styles that can be used and reused on different occasions and wouldn't go out of trend. 

Girls party dresses with a classic style would always look new even if worn on several occasions when matched with the correct sets of accessories. 

So for this year’ Father and Daughter dance, I picked a beautiful white sleeveless formal dress with red sash and flower for my daughter to wear on her school’s Father and Daughter dance.  Take note that my daughter has worn this on a different occasion, but since the sash is detachable, I was able to replace it with red satin one with a red flower on it.  My daughter was amazed that the dress looked new just by changing the sash color.

I bought a new pair of red girl’s shoes and a red headband to match with the color of the sash.  I also made sure she has a red coin purse just to complete a Valentine-themed outfit on the Father and daughter dance.

With her father and a set of beautiful party dress, my daughter will surely have a wonderful experience that she could treasure in her memories forever.
