[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No white dress.   If your daughter is a teen, she is old enough to understand that the day isn't all about her.[/quote]

+1, would you let her wear the white dress to a wedding? There will be lots of little 7-8 year old girls receiving first communion decked out in white dresses (and in some cases veils) and then randomly your teen daughter.[/quote]

She knew enough to ask, so the snark wasn’t necessary.

The Mass will be about 60 minutes long.   Don’t go up to communion if you aren’t Catholic.  There will be a lot of sitting/standing/kneeling - just follow everyone else and feel free to skip the kneeling.   For a gift, money is best but not too much will be expected.  $50 is plenty if you aren’t super close.  [/quote]

$50 for an unrelated child from someone who isn’t even Catholic? No.  It’s not a b’nai mitzvah.  It’s special and holy but not a major gift giving occasion. If you want to give something small like a book, or something that size feel free but even that is not needed.  [/quote]

Agree $50 is on the high side for a non-relative.  I’d do more like $20 - $40.  Also agree no on the white dress.   [/quote]
