Separate the Mass from the reception
List the child’s name, parish, date and Mass time. Then explain where the family celebration takes place and when guests should arrive. If the parish has seating restrictions, repeat the instructions you received rather than assuming every guest can attend the Mass.
Write a thoughtful invitation, not a crowded announcement
A short invitation from the parents or child is enough. Add a photo and a meaningful phrase if you wish, then keep the time, address and RSVP request easy to find. A dress-code note can help relatives who have not attended a service at your parish.
Make replies easy for bilingual relatives
Write your invitation in English, Spanish or both, and share the same published link through text, email or WhatsApp. Guests can send their attendance and guest count through the RSVP form; you check the responses in your account.

Frequently asked questions
Can I create a First Communion invitation without paying first?
Yes. Create and preview it for free, and ask for free design support. You pay $5 USD only when you publish one event for 6 months.
Can guests RSVP without an account?
Yes. Guests open the invitation link and use the RSVP form. The creator needs an account to save, publish and manage responses.
Can I correct the event date after publishing?
The date is linked to the paid publication. Contact support for a legitimate correction to the same event. A different event needs its own publication. You can edit the design, photos, time and venue yourself and republish on the same link.
