'I genuinely don't understand how people can spend over a grand on the day' - meet the parents resisting the urge to splurge on communion costs
"Communion season is well and truly underway, with recent figures showing that the average cost of a communion party in Ireland ranges from €1,000 to €2,700."
"But not everyone spends a fortune on expensive new outfits for the whole family, a complete redecoration of the house and its surrounds, costly entertainment for visiting kids or a slap-up meal for extended family in a restaurant."
Communion season is underway in Ireland, with average communion party costs ranging from €1,000 to €2,700. Many families spend heavily on new outfits for the whole family, including clothing for children and relatives. Some households also pay for complete redecorations of their homes and surrounding areas to prepare for the event. Others add costly entertainment for visiting children and arrange expensive meals for extended family, often in restaurants. Not all parents choose this approach, and some refuse to participate in competitive spending and one-upmanship during communion season.
