It is actually a very significant religious sacrament that is observed in the Roman Catholic. Confirmation is a child’s first reception of the sacrament, which would mean a lot in his or her life. Depending on your customs, this party may be observed anywhere between the age of seven to twelve.
This particular day is celebrated with large family gatherings. The host should send confirmation invites to the guests in advance, communicating any details about the dress code and making other special announcements. The communicants will definitely wear special clothes for the occasion. Most people choose white garments as a sign of purity for the event. Depending on personal preferences, the day can be marked with small or large affairs. Regardless of the size of the party, there’s a need to plan beforehand and, at the same time, decorate the event venue perfectly. Planning in advance, as well as going through this useful reference, and choosing the best confirmation decorations will save you time and save you from all kinds of embarrassments.
Colors
The first thing that hosts should consider is the colors for the occasion. Decorate with the best colors and symbols for the event. The party tradition takes place after the church ceremony. The buffet and guests mingle is very practical. If the traditional party will be held in a room, it’s good to set a long Buffet table at one end with a floor-length white table cloth. Some people choose to add a red cloth layered over the white table cloth. Look for table covers wholesale for variety of colors. The colors of the balloons should be Caribbean Blue, pearlized silver and White with silver crosses.
Another important thing to consider is the table centerpieces, which should be Caribbean Blue. It’s also easy to choose from Silver or Gold print latex Balloons. If possible, you can mix these balloons in the table centerpiece Bunches.
Flowers
The essential next thing to consider is the type of flowers for the occasion. Most people choose to glue a small silver cross to the ceramic vase. The ceramic vase should be white. It should now be filled with baby’s breath and white lilies. Lilies are considered as Religious symbols for transition, Mary, purity and the divine trinity. It’s also important to choose deep red roses and carnations. The red, in this case, stands for the Pentecostal flames. Additionally, choose bright yellow gerbera daisies. These evoke faith and the trinity making the celebration a whole religious thing. The vase should be placed in the center of the cross that is created by lace runners. Eventually, arrange the feather doves around the vase.
Bistro-Style Tables
Each of the Bistro-style tables should be treated as an individual main table. The Bistro-Style tables should be layered with white clothes to the floor. If possible, red clothes should top the white layer. Besides this, anchor a clear glass cylinder to hold a single white lily or even carnation. The clear glass cylinder can contain clear florist’s marbles. This will make it strong enough to maintain the clothes in the position. To make it even cooler and classic for the occasion, add a tiny white feather dove to the cylinder. It’s also important to add red glass and tea lights in clear holders in all the tables. This is especially the case if the event is held at night.
Cross Centerpieces
Use a statue of a cross as the centerpiece. It can be embellished with rosary beads or a bunch of flowers. The cross is a revered emblem with deep religious significance for your child. It is easy to illustrate the real reason for the celebration by placing crosses all throughout the room.
Photographs
Everyone’s favorite confirmation decorations feature loved ones’ portraits glancing at the images. Collect images of your child having fun at home or at a church event. Include photos from their christening, youth events, or occasions when they celebrated a religious festival and frame them with a religious motif.
Twinkling Lights
Consider holding the Confirmation party outside if the weather permits. Use ornamental lighting to adorn the venue. You can utilize off-white lights with intermittent sparkling. This gives the celebration a magical touch. They can be strung around the room’s perimeter or the doorway.
Candle Centerpieces
Beautiful centerpieces can be created using candles. Real or phony candles are both acceptable. You can use tall, thick candles in groups of three or floating candles with a decorative bowl. For the bowl’s base, buy some ornamental rocks or shells. A mirror and a clear glass candle holder are also available for purchase.
Gift Basket
The ideal approach for the guests to know where to put their gifts is in a stylish gift basket. You can keep it straightforward or be imaginative. You can use your imagination, create a DIY basket, buy a sizable basket, and embellish it however you like!
Photo-Op Prop
Without an on-site photo booth station with a specific theme, no party is complete. Grab your friends and take some photos with a homemade prop. With a hula hoop and your standard DIY items, it’s simple to make. Additionally, your friends won’t believe you produced it yourself because of how stunning the results are.
Embellished Balloons
Don’t overpay for balloons just because they are decorated in a charming way. Use tissue paper to adorn a simple balloon with some whimsy and fun. To quickly (and cheaply) enhance the balloon, cut out petals from tissue paper, spray one side of the petals with spray adhesive, and adhere them to the balloon.
Table Backdrop
One of the most enduring aspects of decorating is the table backdrop. You can start by gathering pictures from their time spent ministering at the altar, their first communion, and even their baptism. Fabrics can be used to create a garland that hangs behind the table or around the room. After that, you can add the images however you like to this lovely garland. This will immediately transport you back in time!
Decorative Cake
For your child’s special day, you can request a custom cake. Including images of your child on the cake is one of the ideas for confirmation cakes. A photograph of your child can be screen-printed onto the cake at several bakeries. A simple printing of your child’s name on the cake with flowers or crosses would be ideal for their Confirmation if you don’t want a photo of your child on it. If you’re a talented baker, you can even make your own cake!
Tiered Tree of Frosted Mini-cupcakes
The last thing to do is certainly to set a tiered tree of red and white frosted mini-cupcakes. They should be put on either end of the Buffet table. This is for the children who are always guests in such receptions. For people that are serving sheet cakes, ensure it’s decorated with swirls of red and gold. It’s always perfect against white icing. For the plates, it’s always a good idea to go for white and gold plates and clear plastic glasses. Remember, more children than adults will be attending the occasion, and with glasses, they can cause a mess. Plastic glasses are hard to break and can be recycled after this party. The buffet is supposed to be filled with tempting platters of finger foods.
Confirmation party planning
Besides thinking about the decorations, it’s very important to plan the party in advance. The very first things that are likely to cross your mind are the guest List and the Budget. In most cases, you will definitely need to send Confirmation invites to your friends, relatives and the child’s classmates and their parents. Just be careful when making the guest list because you don’t have to invite everyone. Only invite the classmates and their parents but at least the ones you’ve met in person once or twice.
You also don’t need to be very formal with the invites. This shows that emails, Phone calls and Text messages are acceptable for such an occasion, especially if you’re inviting your closest friends. But inviting distant friends, it’s always important to send them first Communion Invitations.
Personalize the decorations
This is actually the best time to personalize and highlight everything your child loves and holds dear. What are some of the colors she likes? What are her best foods and flowers and décor images? Always have this in mind before completing the preparations. The party will be uniquely special to celebrate the child, and so it’s important to include decorations that the child holds dear.
Together with the preparations and the decorations, what are some of the best songs and fun activities the children will participate in? The dance floor will definitely attract more attention than any other place. So, hand-select the music and some of the songs the kids and the friends love. The event can even be more memorable by offering some fun activities for the adults. The activities should be fun for all the people present, such as a private photoshoot with the animals or a tour of the Aquarium.
