First communion RSVP

Families reply for the Mass and the party, and kids are counted for the games table.

What's inside

Families who come choose the Mass, the party or both and count adults and kids on one line. Families who can't come skip the counts and still write a message for the child's card.

Planning the first communion celebration

First communions often fall on a set date for the whole parish class, usually in spring, so many families celebrate the same weekend. Send the link four to six weeks ahead to get on guests' calendars first.

Seating in the church is often limited for each child's family, so ask your parish how many places you have. The Mass-or-party question tells you who needs one.

Counting kids separately pays off at the party: the cake, the games table and a kids' menu all go by that number. Ask a teenage cousin to run the games and the adults can sit.

Collect the card messages into a small album with photos from the day. If a younger sibling's baptism comes up, its form works the same way.

First communion RSVP questions

Can I use it for a confirmation?

Yes. Change the title and the intro. The Mass-or-party question and the counts fit a confirmation just as well. Confirmation guests are often older, so you may rename the kids count to younger siblings coming along. Put the exact Mass time in the intro, since the parish usually sets one date and time for the whole confirmation class.

Should each family reply once, or each person?

Once per family. The adult and kid counts cover everyone, and the name field takes a family name. Ask godparents and grandparents who live apart to reply on their own, so their numbers don't get lost inside another household. When the replies are in, add up the two count columns for the caterer and the cake.

Can I write it in Spanish for a primera comunión?

Yes. Rewrite the questions and messages in Spanish after you create the form; the logic follows the answers, not their words. Write the child's name and the parish exactly as on the printed invitation, so guests recognize them. If some guests read only English, duplicate the finished form, send each language as its own link and add the counts from both lists.
