Touching speech from mum
Dear [name],
I remember the day you were born. You were so small, and the world was so big. I promised myself to protect you from everything – but the truth is, you never really needed protecting. You've always managed.
Today you're being confirmed, and I see a young person in front of me who is brave, wise and incredibly funny. You fill every room with your energy – and my heart with pride.
The world is open to you, [name]. Seize it with both hands.
We love you. Congratulations. ❤️

How to Write a Confirmation Speech as a Parent
A confirmation speech from parents is one of the most personal contributions at the celebration.
The best parent speeches are built on specific memories that show who the confirmand is.
Structure it simply: open with a memory, describe who the confirmand is today, and close with a wish for the future.
Humour is important – but it must be loving. Tease with things the confirmand would laugh at too.
A practical tip: write the speech down, but practise saying it without reading. It gives better eye contact and a more natural delivery.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a parent's confirmation speech be?
2-4 minutes is ideal, roughly 400-600 words.
How do you start a confirmation speech?
Start with a personal greeting. Open with a childhood memory or an observation about their personality.
Should both parents give a speech?
There are no rules. Some parents speak together, others separately. You can also split it so one is funny and the other is touching.
