THE CONFIRMATION GUIDE
How to plan the big day
-
Timeline
Start planning 6-12 months ahead. If you are out for a shorter period of time, this is also possible, but if you have a specific room or tent in mind, for example, confirmation dates are often in short supply.

Selection of location
Confirmation in a tent - unique & magical
If you want to hold your confirmation in the garden, you can rent pavilions or tents.
Luksustelte has super nice and different tipi tents etc. that you can play and set up in the garden or on a plot of land at e.g. a scout hut. a scout hut, for example.
Tents are available in all sizes, from small to large parties.
At Telthuset Danmark they have more traditional party tents in all sizes.
When you hold your confirmation in a tent, you can often rent tables, chairs, tableware etc. through the tent rental company.
There are several advantages to holding a confirmation in a tent:
-
Less formal
-
Younger guests can run out on the grass and play
-
If the weather is nice, you can open the sides of the tent and enjoy the good weather
-
You can decorate the tent just the way the graduate wants it
-
You can choose exactly the menu you want to eat without being limited by a specific menu at a restaurant.
.
Confirmation in a rented venue
If you are holding a confirmation in a rented venue, there are plenty of options. If you are holding a large confirmation, you will often rent a village hall or other large venue. Some people also choose to rent a scout hut. You can find many different types of premises across the country on Evarto.
There are venues with and without food options and in many different styles. Most of the time, all the tableware and furniture will be there, but remember to check if you need to bring anything to the venue yourself.
Confirmation at a restaurant
It is also possible to rent a restaurant or hotel to host your confirmation. When you hold your confirmation at a restaurant, you will usually be put in contact with someone at the restaurant who will be in charge of your event and coordinate with the chef about food, decoration options, etc.

Decorations for the confirmation ceremony
Decoration for the confirmation means a lot to most confirmands
Talk to the confirmand about what they want. Maybe they already have a clear idea of something they would like, a color theme or something else they think reflects their personality.
You can find a lot of inspiration for decorating for confirmation on TikTok, Pinterest and Instagram, among others.
You can use floral arrangements such as pennants, balloon garlands, pompoms etc. to create a personal and festive atmosphere.
You can also let a company like A Table Story create the exact table setting you want. Party in a box also has many different themed party boxes to decorate with different themes.
But a nice decoration for the confirmation doesn't have to cost a fortune if you don't have the budget for it.
-
Food for the confirmation
No matter which room you have chosen, you will need food on the table for the confirmation.
Talk to the confirmand about what he/she wants and let it become part of the dinner.
Decide whether you want a buffet or a served dinner.
At ChefMe you can hire a chef no matter if you are in a tent, room with or without the kitchen, hotel or where you are going to be at the confirmation.
When you hire a chef at ChefMe, once you have sent a request to one or more chefs, you will have a dialog with the chef about what type of food you want, whether there should be special food for the youngest participants and the chef will also take into account any dietary requirements or allergies of the guests.
While there are gourmet chefs for those who want a michelin-worthy dinner for their confirmation, there are also plenty of skilled chefs who don't cost more than catering. In return, you don't have to bother with any food preparation and can enjoy your guests and your child's confirmation while the chef takes care of everything from cooking to cleaning up the kitchen.

-
Tøj
Of course, the confirmand should choose the t-shirt himself/herself. Find something he/she feels comfortable in and something that he/she can stand to wear in church and at the party.
-
Speaking & Entertainment
Talk to your graduate about whether he/she would rather just say a quick thank you to the guests, or if they have the courage to give a real speech.
If you are writing a speech for the graduate, share funny anecdotes and memorable moments - without embarrassing the graduate too much ;) But make the speech personal and heartwarming.
You can also consider other entertainment for the party. Maybe you want to make a playlist with the confirmation's favorite songs, maybe you want to hire a DJ or music for the party.
You can also find other fun things for the party such as renting a photobooth at MySelfie and create unique and fun photo memories with your guests.
-
Gæster and invitations
Create a guest list for the graduation together with the graduate and decide how many guests you want to invite. Do you want to invite some of the graduate's friends, some of your friends or just family?
Send out invitations well in advance and set an RSVP date so you know how many people are coming to the confirmation. There are many places online where you can make nice personalized invitations.
-
Photographer
The confirmation is a big day and should of course be immortalized. You can either book a professional photographer or have one of the guests be in charge of taking lots of pictures throughout the day. That way, you can relax knowing that photos will be taken for the confirmation memory book.
Consider scheduling a time for group and confirmation photos.
-
Tackle card
After the party, remember to send thank you cards to the guests. Either digitally or physically.
The confirmand can write a personal thank you to all guests and you can use photos from the day as thank you cards, it gives a very personal touch.
-
Enjoy it
The confirmation party is a big day, both for you and for the confirmand. Make sure you enjoy it together.
And congratulations on your confirmation
