My daughter recently celebrated her First Communion. We had a small celebration at home with her grandparents and godparents. My intention was to make it like being at a restaurant, but cozier by being at home. We had the food catered in, so all I had to do was decorate. I thought I would share my ideas with you all. They were so simple, quick and low cost, but still managed to look really pretty for her. I stuck with a white, silver and pink theme throughout. I used white placemats with silver charger plates and white dishes. I found some adhesive faux diamonds at my local dollar store, so I stuck one one each charger plate near the top, one on each napkin, made diamond crosses on the wine glasses and after tying the cutlery with pink ribbon, attached small diamonds on each bow. It looked really elegant. The favor boxes were simply filled with strawberry-topped cupcakes. A really nice way to jazz up something so simple. Everything purchased was from the dollar store-the white adhesive bows, the sticky diamonds, the pink ribbon and napkins, the plastic silver trays in the center of the table, and everything used for the favor boxes (pop-up favor boxes, silver candy wraps, strands of pearls, large sticky faux diamonds and the white was the parchment paper wrapping the cupcake). The pink lilies topped it all off and smelled great! Total cost, including the flowers: $41, since the charger plates were $20. The last photo is the cake my sister made for her. She has had no cake training whatsover. Amazing!
