The First Communion Mass is at ten. The party is on you.
A First Communion runs on two clocks — the church's and yours. Rehearsal Sunday, Mass Tuesday at ten, photos with Fr. Halloran after, then the club lunch and abuela's moment with the baptism candle. This plankit carries both halves, and the screenshots below are Sofia Rodriguez's real plan, mid-flight.
"No flash during Mass — long lens from the side aisle," on the run-of-show
Grandma Lupe brings the baptism candle — it's on her guest card
The white dress, lace veil & rosary — a real budget line, half paid
Half the day belongs to the church. The other half belongs to the plan.
First Communion, Confirmation, or a baptism — the parish sets its clock, and your plan finally matches it: the rehearsal and Mass on one track, the hall, the cake, and the family on the other. Sofia's day below runs exactly that way.
The two-clock timeline
Rehearsal Sunday, Mass at ten, photos on the steps, lunch at the club, cake at two — five parts across two days, each with its own RSVPs and run-of-show. Captured live below, down to the pew order.
Godparents & sponsors
Godparents and sponsor have their own places in setup and print on the Day Program, beside the celebrant. The rest lives on the plan: Grandma Lupe's candle on her guest card, Fr. Halloran's thank-you gift as a budget line.
Guests in two languages
Personal RSVP links open in any browser — no app, no account, any age. Bilingual guest pages, English y Español, are live today on the quinceañera plankit — Communion's version is next. BILINGUAL PAGES — COMING SOON
The gift & thank-you list
Rosaries, the engraved cross, the photo album — the keepsake list lives in setup, one line per gift, with the order-and-engraving task on the checklist and the budget line below. The thank-you-notes task lands ten days after, while the suit still fits.
One real First Communion, in pictures.
These are unretouched screenshots from the real product. Sofia Rodriguez's First Communion is a sample plan we built end to end to show you exactly what it does — Mass at ten, lunch at Summit Ridge, both families seated. Click any of them to look closer.

Godparents, sponsor, the first reader — every sacred role lives on Sofia's plan and the printed Day Program, the way the screenshots show: the candle on Grandma Lupe's card, the offering and gifts on the budget, the pew order on the rehearsal notes. The dedicated roster with per-role thank-yous is coming. HONOR ROSTER — COMING SOON

What families ask.
Communion this spring, Confirmation next fall — one plankit or two?
One plankit per celebration, like every plankit we sell. Pick the celebration when you start — First Communion, Confirmation, or both combined for a shared day — and the parts shape to match. Two separate events are two plankits, or the Celebration Track at $19/mo if your family has a season of them.
Does this handle the church side?
It carries the church side as your own timeline and parts — the rehearsal walk-through, the Mass with its photo rules, who brings the candle. The parish keeps its own schedule; Sofia's plan simply matches it, down to "third pair" on the rehearsal notes.
Our families speak two languages.
Every guest gets a personal link that opens in any browser. Bilingual guest pages — English y Español, same as the quinceañera plankit — are coming to Communion next. BILINGUAL PAGES — COMING SOON
Can the godparents help plan?
Yes — invite family with scoped links. The godmother can own the cake and favors lane; you keep the budget, or share it — your call.
What does "founder price" mean?
$79 instead of $99 for the first 25 of this plankit, or through September 1, 2026 — whichever comes first. One payment, one celebration — never a subscription.
