Pop-up Shop Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Welcome to our First Communion Boutique Pop-Up Shop!
Below, you'll find answers to some of our most frequently asked questions to ensure you have a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience with us.
What is a Gowns of Grace Pop-Up Shop?
- Gowns of Grace in an online First Communion Boutique that also has a fundraiser program for Catholic churches and schools to utilize. When a church or schools signs up with Gowns of Grace to host a pop-up boutique we send them everything they need to run a successful and fun shop which also earns them a profit share in their shop sales! We call this a Shop-in-a-Box and it's a great way for Catholic churches and schools to boost their income to support their missions. Every Gowns of Grace Pop-Up shop will be a little different since the hosting church/school will want to make their shop special and unique for the students in their area. We encourage our shop hosts to make the boutique a fun and engaging experience with things like snacks, refreshments, music, a photo booth, a religious craft, keepsake giveaways, and more!
What can I purchase and take home from the shop?
- At our pop-up shop, you can instantly purchase a wide range of First Communion attire and accessories, including dresses, suits, veils, shoes, jewelry, and various gift items. We also offer a selection of jewelry and keepsakes that are perfect for commemorating this special occasion. All items available for immediate purchase are displayed within our shop with a green or yellow tag and are subject to stock availability.
What needs to be ordered ?
- Many of the "main" apparel items such as dresses, suits, shoes, and veils are Sample Styles and are marked with a red tag, meaning they are available to try on, but cannot leave the shop. When you decide to purchase one of these "red tag" items you can do so by ordering the style and size you want from our Website and the item will be shipped to your home. Our team will assist you with the order process to ensure your selections perfectly meet your needs. Items in the shop marked with a green tag can be purchased on site and taken home with you that day. Items marked with a yellow tag can also be purchased on site and taken home with you that day, however these items are Final Sale items and cannot be returned.
