While searching for Holy Cards online, I came across many “vintage” cards from decades ago (some as old as the 1920s and 1930s) that were funeral cards or First Communion cards. Are those types of cards still done today? I have been to a few First Communions for my wife’s second cousins, but never saw any cards.

Funeral Cards are still done today, if its what I think you mean. We had some printed up for my dad, it has his date of birth and his date of his death and then a scriptural passage on the back. I have many for relatives on both mine and my husband’s side of the family.

Do you mean your wife’s first cousins’ children? They would be your wife’s first cousins once removed. Your wife’s second cousins are in her generation; they share one of her four sets of great-grandparents.

I can’t quite remember if I had received a first communion card, but I did give one to a first communicant.

Yes, lol. My wife’s first cousins’ children.
 
I prepare children for 1st Communion. I give them Holy Cards, but they are not especially printed with the date, etc. We have 5 to 10 children a year being a small parish. It would certainly be a great tradition to continue.
