What to Write in a Confirmation Card Message
-
Open with a warm greeting. Start with “Dear [name],” or begin with a hearty “congratulations.” Whether you’re a friend or family member, personalize your opening greeting so they feel as special as they deserve to on this monumental day. The greeting sets them up to receive your unique wishes ahead and know how much you care.
-
Congratulate them on their confirmation. At some point in your message, make sure to congratulate them on their spiritual achievement. You can mention how hard they’ve worked for it or how worthy they are to receive it. Emphasize the importance of making confirmation in whatever manner of speaking you’re comfortable with.
-
Offer them words of encouragement. Whether you share the same religious beliefs as they do or not, let them know how proud you are of their accomplishment. Share faith or hope about what greatness lies ahead for them and how this is just one step toward their religious desires. You can inspire them for the future to keep going with everything they can muster.
-
Include a blessing or Bible verse. If you’re comfortable doing so, including a blessing or a quote from the Bible can help them focus on what’s important. It may directly talk about the rite of confirmation or simply mention faith in God. A meaningful religious quote or verse can become a source of faith for the confirmed person to return to.
-
Sign your message with care. If you’re a family member or close friend, you can say “Love, [name].” Other thoughtful options include “All my best,” “With love,” or “Warmest wishes.” However you decide to close your confirmation card greeting, keep your words good-natured, friendly, and inviting.
