Chalice, Bread & Grapes Religious Invitations are a perfect choice for your child’s first holy communion invitations. A gold chalice, purple grapes and a loaf of bread are highlighted by a beige pinstripe border.
When it comes to invitations, it seems anything goes, but there are still some rules that should be followed.
To write the time of day, it is recommended to write the time followed by a.m. or p.m. in lower case with a period after each letter, such as 12:30 p.m. There should always be a space between a.m. or p.m. and the time.
The “a.m.” means Ante Meridiem – before noon – and “p.m.” means Post Meridiem – after noon.
Although you will find some books that tell you to capitalize the A.M. or P.M., doing so on an invitation is usually too overpowering to the rest of your text.
When it comes to writing “noon” – 12:00 p.m., or “midnight” – 12:00 a.m., you can use “twelve noon” or “twelve midnight.”
On formal invitations, dates and times are always spelled out:
Saturday, the first of April
– using “on” before the date is optional, but do not capitalize the “o”
– do not capitalize the date when spelled out, “first,” “second,”
at six o’clock
– using “at” before the date is optional, do not capitalize the “a” or any other letters
– adding phrases for time of day is optional, but no letters are capitalized
“in the evening” applies to 6:00 p.m. and after
“in the afternoon” applies to after noon and before 6:00 p.m.
“in the morning” applies to after midnight and before noon
Two thousand and twenty-five
– the listing of the year is optional but is usually included on wedding invitations
– only the first letter of the first word is capitalized as in the “Two” of the year

Planning your child’s first communion often involves a celebration afterwards with family and friends. Be sure to get the date from your church as early as possible so you can make sure the the people you want to attend have the date free so you can reserve your event space and mail your party invitations.
The Catholic church holds first communion rites once or twice a year for children typically between the ages of six and eight and depending on the size of your church, suitable banquet halls and restaurants may be booked quickly, so don’t wait until the last minute to reserve the space for your party.
If you are having a small gathering of immediate family, you may be able to have a reception at your home. If you need to accommodate a large group of guests, you might be better off with on-site catering facilities of a restaurant, banquet hall or country club that also has an experienced staff to ensure your event goes smoothly.
If your venue does not have on-site food service, you will need to reserve a caterer and wait staff for your event. When selecting your menu, remember the guest of honor’s age and what food preferences they might have. As guests are in their Sunday best, make sure your food choices are easy to eat.
Once your date and venue have been set, it’s time to select the invitations. Be sure to use RSVP, not regrets only, so you will have an idea of the number of attendees for your caterer and other items such as beverages and tableware if you are having the party at your home.
Finally, be sure to enjoy this momentous occasion with your child.
