Lily Chapel: a first communion invitation template

Lily Chapel is a First Communion invitation template with lilies of the valley beneath a slender gold arch on ivory, for Communion Mass and lunch.

A tall arch drawn in thin gold frames the date and the child’s name, and sprays of lily of the valley, their small bells hanging in a row, rise from both lower corners beside long leaves. The look is light, churchlike and gentle. An arched gatefold opens first, and a pressed countdown follows. The day can run from arrival to the First Communion Mass, photographs, a celebration lunch and something sweet. Each accepted invitation is greeted by a sprinkle of gilt and pearls. It suits a parish First Communion, a confirmation, or a family lunch after Mass.
