For Christians, going through the Confirmation process is an important part of your child’s journey into adulthood. Every girl and boy looks forward to their Confirmation party to celebrate their accomplishment. You may find it hard to put together a party that caters to your kid’s youthful excitement and acknowledges Confirmation's seriousness. If you find yourself stuck, here are a few Confirmation party ideas to keep in mind when planning your confirming party. Be sure to download our handy checklist to help you along the way.
Confirmation Party Ideas: Decorations
1. Cross Centerpiece
Order a cross statue and use it as a centerpiece. You can decorate it with a flower bouquet or with rosary beads. The cross is a sacred symbol that carries a lot of meaning in your child’s religion. Using a cross throughout the room is a simple way to outline the real reason for celebrating the day.
2. Photographs
Photographs of loved ones are always popular. Gather a collection of pictures of your child at a church event or having fun at home. You can include pictures of their christening, pictures from youth events, or celebrating religious holidays and put them in a religious-themed frame.
3. Flower Arrangements
Purchase various flower arrangements to set up around the event space. Guests will love these simple, beautiful decorations. They smell great and look even greater. It’s a good way to brighten up the room.
4. Twinkling Lights
If the weather is agreeable, consider having the Confirmation party outdoors. Decorate the event space using decorative lights. You can use off-white lights that sparkle on and off. This adds a magical element to the party. You can string them around the doorway or the room's border.
5. Candle Centerpieces
Candles can make beautiful centerpieces. You can use real or fake candles. You can use floating candles with a decorative bowl or tall, thick candles in pairs of three. Purchase decorative rocks or shells to put at the bottom of the bowl. You can also purchase a clear glass candle holder and a mirror.

Playing a few games can ensure that your kid has fun at their party. Sometimes Confirmation parties turn out to be more for adults than the kids involved. Playing games will help generate some fun and joy at your Confirmation party.
19. Word Search Puzzle
Print out a couple of religious word searches, and place them around each table for your antsy kids to help pass the time. You can also give a prize to the kid that finishes first! Word searches are just a fun little activity to keep the mind occupied.
20. “Who Am I?” Icebreaker
Whether you have a close group of friends and family or a large group of people who may not know each other at the Confirmation party, use this game to get everyone on their feet to interact with one another. Before the party, prepare index cards with famous Biblical characters or modern-day religious figures. Tape one card to each person’s back. Guests have to ask yes-or-no questions to figure out which character they are. Award a prize to the first person to guess correctly.
21. Bible Charades
Turn this classic game into one that involves significant events in the Bible. Some examples of clues could be Daniel in the lion’s den, Jonah and the whale, or Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. This is a great game because it gets everybody moving and laughing.
22. Bible Verses Race
Before the party, pick out some of your favorite inspirational Bible verses. Type these verses on your computer and leave out one word perverse. After printing them out, write the missing words on index cards. At the event space, tape the cards onto a blank wall. To play, read a random verse aloud and then call two guests’ names. They have to race to find the right word. Award the winners with candy or other small prizes.

23. Snacks and Appetizers
Depending on what time your Confirmation party is held, you might want to stick to just snacks! Everyone loves a fruit salad or even an appetizer board of their choice. Make sure not to forget the appetizer plates as well. Another popular item for a Confirmation party is an array of sliders.
24. Sit-Down Dinner
If your Confirmation party is more for close friends and family, you might consider having a sit-down dinner instead of just snacks and appetizers. For the dinner, consider having a nice starter salad followed by the main course. The main course should be whatever the confirmands desire - it is his or her night after all.
25. Cake ideas
