What to write in your communion cards

A communion or lentefeest can be a big moment, and big moments can sometimes leave us not knowing how to express ourselves fully and properly.

That’s where we can help you – we’ve got all the tips and tricks you need to write the best message possible in your event invitations, thank you cards to your guests, and general well wishes for the child. Scroll on and let’s prepare for the special day together.

What to write in your communion invitations

A communion or lentefeest is a milestone moment, and it all starts with the invitations to your special event.

First, make sure you include all the important details. If you’re inviting guests to an informal gathering, write your child’s full name (it’s a big event, after all), and the date, time and address of the party. If you’re also inviting guests to the formal communion ceremony beforehand, add the guest arrival time and church address as well. You can also include any requests for dress code, and any RSVP contact details and timings.

You can also include a personal message or quote in your communion invitation cards to share your excitement for the celebration. If your communion event has a special theme, you can also tailor your message to get the right vibe going.

Example:
Join us to celebrate the communion of Oscar de Jong
with a bright afternoon of celebration and sweet treats
on Sunday 18th May 2025
Ceremony: arrive 11am, St Peters Church
Afternoon tea party: 2pm, our home at 7 Smith St
Dress code: please wear semi-formal white or floral attire
RSVP: call 12 3456 7890 by Sunday 4th May

It may seem like a lot to include in one card, but luckily, our personalised communion and lentefeest invitations are fully customisable, so you can convey all the details without compromising on style. They also come in packs of 10, so you only have to get all the information down once, and we’ll do the rest.

All of our communion and lentefeest invitation designs also feature example text that matches the style of each card to give you even more inspiration

What to write in your communion thank you cards

Once the day’s over, it’s time to say thank you to everyone who made it extra special. Our communion and lentefeest invitations have matching personalised thank you cards so you can share the love in style.

When customising your thank you cards, you can express gratitude for the presence of the guests as well as for any gifts that were received. You can also share the best memories of the day.

Example:
Thank you for joining me in celebrating my communion. We greatly appreciate your generous gift, and for sharing in this milestone moment with us.

Our card-writing top tips

Keep it short – A picture says a thousand words on its own, so once you’ve got the main message down, don’t stress about adding any more than needed.

Keep it personal – Sending a physical card is a grand gesture in these modern days, and it’s nice to let your message convey this love and warmth too. Be selective with your adjectives to show you care.

Keep it on theme – Remember what you’re writing about. A communion is typically an event on the more formal side, so make sure you don’t get too casual with your message.

Now that you’re all ready to write in your communion or lentefeest cards, it’s time to create, so head on over to our personalised communion card page and explore all the designs available. Don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the process too – this is a special moment for you and your child, and we’re confident you will have an unforgettable communion.
