How to Select a Theme for a Confirmation Party

A confirmation party is all about honoring a particular individual for taking the step of confirmation, a rite of passage into spiritual maturity. And what better way to honor the confirmand than with a party that is specifically tailored to his or her interests? Select a confirmation party theme that celebrates the guest of honor's hobbies or passions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Party supplies
• Suggestions from the confirmand

Select a Fun Confirmation Party Theme

1. Take into consideration the confirmand's hobbies and interests when choosing an appropriate party theme.
2. Remember the interests of the other invitees. Choose a theme that will not alienate any of your guests.
3. Choose the theme early on in the planning stages. Planning a party is difficult and time-consuming enough without adding a theme at the last minute.
4. Make sure as many things fit with the theme as possible, including decorations, party favors, tableware and the menu. Selecting food for, say, a baseball theme is easy. Simply lay out hot dogs, peanuts and popcorn snacks. For more involved themes, it may take a bit more planning and originality. For a sci-fi theme, choose foods with unusual colors and give them "space" names. Be creative!
5. Keep things simple but specific. If the confirmand is into something obscure, such as a band the adults have never heard of, planning a whole party around it may be difficult. On the other hand, doing a party with a general theme like "sports" is a bit vague and impersonal.

Tips & Warnings

• Sports, hobbies, clubs and professional aspirations can all make excellent themes.
• You may wish to include some inspirational or religious overtones in planning your theme, since confirmation is such an important religious event.
