First Communion Gifts That Honor the Day
A first communion is a day the whole family remembers. The right gift keeps that day close long after the candles are packed away.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
Most first communion gifts land in a drawer. A rosary, a bookmark, another cross necklace they already have three of. Thoughtful, but easy to forget.
Snapshot turns a photo of the child in their communion dress or suit into a premium custom trading card, printed on 16pt stock and protected in a magnetic display case they can set on a shelf or nightstand.
Here is why a keepsake card is the gift they will still have at their confirmation.
We have printed thousands of milestone keepsake cards and know how to make a single photo look dignified on premium stock.

From Photo to Keepsake in Three Steps
You do not need design skills. If you can pick a photo, you can make the card.
Upload the communion photo
Choose a clear photo of the child in their communion attire. A bright, well-lit shot works best.
Add name and date
Personalize with the child's name and the date of their first communion so the card commemorates the specific day.
We print and ship
We print on premium 16pt stock, tuck it in a magnetic display case, and ship from the USA in 2-3 days.
The result is a finished keepsake, ready to gift or display the moment it arrives.
Why a Keepsake Card Fits the Occasion
A first communion gift should feel personal and lasting. A custom card does both.
Their day, front and center
Use the photo from the church steps or the family portrait. The card features the actual child on their actual day, not a generic religious motif.
Built to be kept
Premium 16pt stock and a magnetic display case mean it survives years of handling, not one bump into the recycling bin.
Add their name and date
Personalize the card with the child's name and communion date so it reads like a small commemorative plaque they can display.
Respectful and understated
No flash, no gimmicks. A clean, dignified card that suits a sacred milestone and looks at home beside a candle or crucifix.

Who a Communion Card Is For
A single photo works for the child, the godparents, and the grandparents alike.
Godparents and sponsors
Godparents play a real role on this day. A card of their godchild is a warm way to thank them and mark their part in it.
Grandparents who couldn't travel
Mail a card to family who missed the Mass so they hold a piece of the day in their hands, not just a photo on a phone.
The child's own keepsake shelf
Kids love seeing themselves. A card they can display teaches them this was a day worth remembering.
A Gift Families Keep
Parents and godparents often reach for a keepsake they can hold and display, not another gift that ends up in a drawer. A card of the child on their communion day tends to earn a spot on a shelf or nightstand, and many families order extra copies so grandparents and sponsors each have one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a trading card an appropriate first communion gift?
Yes. Think of it as a small commemorative portrait rather than a sports card. It features the child on their communion day, personalized with their name and date, and displays cleanly in its case beside other keepsakes.
Can I add the child's name and communion date?
You can. Adding the child's name and the date of their first communion turns the card into a dated keepsake, much like an engraved plaque but far more personal.
What photo should I use?
A clear, well-lit photo of the child in their communion dress or suit works best. A church-step portrait or a full family shot both translate well onto the card.
How much does it cost?
Your first card is $17.99 including a magnetic display case and free US shipping. Extra copies for godparents or grandparents run about $2 each, up to 18 per box.
How long until it arrives?
Cards are made in the USA and typically ship within 2-3 days, so there is time to order after the ceremony and still gift it promptly.
Can I order copies for the whole family?
Yes. Many families order one for the child, one for the godparents, and a couple for grandparents. Additional copies are about $2 each in the same box.
