What are the right gifts for your confirmation sponsor?

For many young people, Confirmation signifies an important step toward spiritual awareness and marks their initial move into adulthood. In comparison to other religious ceremonies, such as baptism and First Communion, Confirmation is often regarded as a more intimate moment that the confirmand shares with their closest family members and friends. While there are often big banquets and parties with numerous guests, traditions can differ from place to place.

Among the various attendees at the Confirmation ceremony, one person, in particular, is essential: the godparent, depending on whether the confirmand is a boy or a girl.

But who exactly are Confirmation sponsors, or godmother and godfather?

Godmothers and godfathers play vital roles as role models and mentors for the boy or girl preparing to receive the sacrament. Typically chosen by the confirmand and their parents, they are selected from among the family’s most trustworthy and closest confidants to help guide the child toward a successful future.

The choice doesn’t necessarily have to be a family member; sponsors can be selected from among family friends, especially those who have known the confirmand since birth and have built a special relationship over time.

The selection of a godparent usually occurs naturally, with the chosen man or woman gladly participating in planning the celebration. In fact, the sponsor takes on many tasks, including assisting the family in organizing the party, helping choose the confirmand's outfit, and handling party favors – just as a wise mentor should.

Thanking the Godparents

The godparent represents a point of reference, a role model in life, a safe harbor you can always turn to for help. This is why it’s tradition for the confirmand to thank their sponsor with a special gift on the day of the ceremony. If it’s customary for every guest to get a party favor as a keepsake of this important event, something truly special should be given to the man or woman acting as the sponsor. It should be a gift which symbolizes this deep bond between them and the person being confirmed.

The choice usually falls upon a personal and precious gift that shows the godparent fulfilling this important role as a mentor how thankful we are for their guidance. Our suggestion? Jewelry they can wear everywhere will be a wonderful reminder of this important bond and moment.
