Not to toot our own, but — toot! toot! — we’re sort of professional surprise party planners. Detectives envy our secrecy, our lips are always sealed, and our surprise party invitations — they don’t leave a trace of evidence.

That’s right. Your guest of honor can dust for fingerprints and search our (snail)mailboxes with a magnifying glass, but our surprise invites will go undetected. Why? Here’s a bit of not-so-classified information for you: Our paperless invites don’t use RSVP cards, address labels, or stamps. No paper, no evidence.

So put us under the microscope all you want. These surprise party invitations won’t be found.

In the Christian faith, first communion, or confirmation, is an exciting time in a young person’s life. It’s the first time they receive the Eucharist, or the body (bread) and blood (wine) of their savior Jesus Christ. Considered a highlight of their faith, it’s fairly common to send out confirmation invitations, inviting friends and family to share in the experience.

Confirmation traditions vary between denominations, so how you celebrate will depend on your church and your version of Christianity. Young boys and girls celebrate their first communion as early as eight years old in the Catholic Church, while those within the Lutheran and Anglican churches usually receive theirs in middle school.

A first communion service is usually preluded by some sort of class where the child learns the meaning of the Eucharist, various prayers (including the Lord’s prayer), and the history of the church. At the actual church service, they receive communion with the rest of the congregation, and the pastor or priest may say a few words about the children during the sermon. Afterwards, a reception usually follows with cake, punch, coffee, or light snacks with the rest of the congregation.

If you’re planning a first communion, you’ve come to the right place. Below, you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions for planning a reception after the service. You’ll find six confirmation invitations to bring together family, friends, and your fellow congregation on this special day.

How did you get here? One second, you’re dragging a very timid six year-old to their first little league practice, and the next, you can barely get them to commit to curfew after Friday night games. You’ve watched them grow physically, mentally, and emotionally, applying for colleges and taking the SATs. And now, here you are — picking out their high school graduation announcements.

Announcing a high school graduation can be a bittersweet affair. For one, you’re so proud of your graduate and all they accomplished over the past four years (or eighteen, for that matter). But on the other hand, you know they’ll soon be moving out, tackling higher ed or their first job.

And while no one’s promising you won’t shed a tear or two at the commencement speech, for now, you’re promising to keep things together. You have announcements to send and perhaps a party throw, so you’re keeping it happy-thoughts only.

Graduation is just around the corner. You studied, pulled all nighters, and applied yourself to get to where you are. And to celebrate all of your hard work, you’re ready to throw a party. But first, you need to send out college graduation announcements to let your friends and family know that you officially crossed the finish line, or to bring your local loved ones together for a celebration.

Graduating from college feels so different from your high school graduation. And you know why? Because this time, it was all on you. You didn’t have your parents or teachers looking over your shoulder ensuring you did your homework, got enough sleep, or studied for exams.

Nope, the past four years were all you. And you did it — we mean, you really did it. You made sacrifices. You set priorities. And you gave it your all. So pat yourself on the back for all you’ve done over the past four years, and throw that cap (and that party).
