First Communion
A First Communion or Confirmation is often the occasion for a big family meal. You need to set the date, count guests, coordinate the gift and pass on practical details. Here are the steps, and how Filomy helps keep them simple.

Choose the date and the venue for the meal
What makes it complicated
Between the parish calendar and family availability, the conversation goes in every direction.

Send the invitations
What makes it complicated
Replies come by phone, text or WhatsApp, and the handwritten list is never up to date.
With Filomy
The invitation page takes 2 minutes to create and shows replies in real time, with the number of plus-ones and custom questions.

Bring everything together on one page
What makes it complicated
Mass time, restaurant address, directions: every guest asks for the same information again.
With Filomy
The Event Box brings invitations and RSVP, poll, kitty, guest book and photo wall together in a mini-site shared by link or QR code, for a one-time payment of €49.90.

Organise the group gift
What makes it complicated
Aunts, uncles and godparents want to give a watch or a bike together, but tracking who has chipped in quickly becomes a headache.
With Filomy
The personalised gift voucher presents the gift with a target amount, a message and words from every participant; contributions are paid directly to the organiser.

Confirm the headcount
What makes it complicated
The restaurant needs a firm number, and you still have to call latecomers one by one.
With Filomy
You remind guests who haven't replied in one click and export the list as a CSV file for the restaurant.

Collect guests' messages
What makes it complicated
Loved ones' words are written on cards that get scattered after the party.
With Filomy
The online guest book collects messages, photos, videos and voice notes via a QR code, with no app or account, and can be shown as a slideshow.

Write a message for the years ahead
What makes it complicated
A letter meant for later in life can easily be forgotten long before it's read.
With Filomy
The time capsule delivers a message written today in 1, 5 or 10 years, for free.
