I have a question for anyones daughter or son making their Confirmation

My daughter is making her Confirmation in 3 weeks. Do I get her sponsor a corsage to wear for the cermony?

Thank you

I'm going to guess you certainly can if you wish but I know my Grandmother did not wear on when I was confirmed, but that was some 55 years ago or so.

 

I think your gesture would be lovely.

Things like that can vary by location. You might want to ask someone who attends the same church what the standard is for your church to be safe.

@januarybaby, I live in Chicago & it's pretty customary here, I did for my girls & noticed all the sponsors also had them, but maybe your area is different, although it is a nice gesture.

I was just a Confirmation sponsor last weekend in Minneapolis.  I did not notice anyone wearing a corsage.  It probably depends on local customs.

Yes, you should buy the sponsor a corsage.

Please check with the sponsor to see if she is allergic to flowers.  For my wedding, I had a silk flower corsage made for my Mother.  She wore it for all my sisters' weddings.

You can but its not mandatory. Most families take the sponsors out to either lunch or dinner. Congratulations to your child, I teach CCE and it's a long process.

Congratulations to your daughter. It's an important day. I didn't give any of the sponsors of my kids anything but a special toast at the party after as is the custom in my area. One of my dil's sent flowers to my grandkids' sponsors. I think you should go with how you feel.
