[![Screen Shot 2013-05-13 at 10.41.20 AM](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-10.41.20-AM.png)](https://allabouttrh.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-13-at-10.41.20-AM.png) This Saturday was the first Holy Communion of Real Housewives of New Jersey's Melissa Gorga's daughter Antonia. Also on that day, was the exact same celebration for Teresa Giudice's Gabriella, except we did not see any media articles or pictures from the religious celebration. Why? Melissa may have turned her daughter's first Holy Communion into a sponsored party and this is why. Melissa took to Twitter and Instagram to plug the entertainment, as well as the dress designer for Antonia's special day. Did she exchange free services for some publicity? The Manzo's probably hooked her up with a friend discount at the Brownstone too! Not only that, but photos of the event were also taken by Splash News, a celebrity photo agency that sells images to tabloids, TV outlets, magazines, etc. Melissa tweeted: > Thank you @[jasonjani](https://twitter.com/jasonjani) best DJ's and entertainment co. out there! Made our night a blast!!

We loved creating and designing your custom Elena do Vale dress!!

Did they throw a seemingly lavish party all comped by vendors for free promo? Funny how the only photo we saw of Gabriella's celebration was from Gia's Twitter! Hmm...
