I may or may not be going to a confirmation in a couple of weeks, and I've never been to a Catholic confirmation. They're having a big party after, we just got a fancy invitation in the mail for it. My questions:
1. What kind of gift is appropriate? For mine, I only got gifts from a couple of people and they were all religious (Bible, Catechism, cross necklace, and a plaque with a prayer on it). I feel like their parents, grandparents, and sponsors are going to be getting them things like this so I don't know what else to get them. Is a check or GC ok?
2. What should I wear? It's on Saturday, so not during Sunday mass. Normal church clothes? Less formal because it's Saturday? More formal because it's a confirmation? Halp!
Re: Catholic Ladies please help
We didn't have a party for my Confirmation, but the popular gift then was a name necklace. I'd say a monetary gift would be acceptable. Or if you don't want to give money, maybe a nice leather journal?
I'd would say a casual sun/dress, or business casual, would be fine. But the fancy invite might sway me, personally, to dress a little more formal.
Hope that helps!
If you wanna get a little more personal find out what Saint they are confirmed under-- or if they are using their baptism name for Confirmation. You could always get something inscribed at a Things Remembered. But if you want the quick easy route- yes- a gift card or a check is good too.
And yea- normal church clothes even on a Saturday is appropriate. Usually Confirmation Ceremonies are a BIG deal-- because the Bishop of the diocese is there. I hope you have a good time and Congrats to the Confirmandi!! It's an exciting time!
