Cost Cutting Tip - Recycle!
The Communion suit or dress can sometimes be the most expensive part of any child's Communion day. While there are many beautiful dresses and outfits you would love to buy your child, it is usually a good idea to set a price limit before you enter the shops. Don't rule out visiting charity shops when communion dress shopping. They are full of gorgeous clothes, some with the price tags still attached!
Alternatively, if you are lucky enough to still own the Communion Dress you wore as a child then begin your own tradition and turn it into an heirloom. Remember that it is also perfectly acceptable to re-use outfits which were worn by your child's older siblings.
