catholic confirmations

[nametaken]

has anyone had a confirmation party for their dc. Or if not, what did you do to celebrate. Dcs confirmation is at 7 at night at after cake and coffee at the school won't finish till 9. Is that too late to go out or would you go at the week-end instead.

Mine, my sisters and the child I was sponsor to were all part of mass so morning and then lunch.

And that really wasn't helpful was it. How old are DC's

they are 10

Could you maybe do a cold buffet and go back to your house after, that way they could go to bed, but as they are 10 would probably enjoy going out.

And I think on the day as then iot loses its specialness

Hi, My DS's confirmation was at 7 also. All the parents had to take a plate of finger foods, and we had supper at the hall afterwards. I think its too late to have any thing afterwards, and I have smaller kids so we came home and put them to bed. I much prefer a morning service where you can go to lunch after the morning tea.
