[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would focus more on the fact that Catholics only take communion in Catholic churches, and just ask that she not do it in the future. [/b] If they're in a congregation where people approach the altar, maybe have her practice crossing her hands on her chest.  If they're in a congregation where the communion is passed from the aisle, then have her simply pass it on, or say "No Thank You."[/quote]

This isn't exactly true.  Catholics can take communion in any church that allows it, but it doesn't count as a sacrament. There's no prohibition against it at all.

Catholics only allow Catholics and maybe Greek Orthodox and Episcopalians may receive communion during a Catholic mass. It's because Catholics believe that during mass the bread and wine become the actual body and body of Christ.

OP, you are in a multi-denominational family. You are going to have suck it up a little bit.  I would gently explain to my in-laws that it wasn't cool. I would explain to my daughter that it wasn't her real First Communion, just a practice one.  Make a big deal about her real First Communion. (Which shouldn't be hard. I still remember my fluffy white dress.)[/quote]
