Kids are important!

If you are a couple getting married with children involved, there is a great web site that has some sound and terrific advice. Idotaketwo.com is a web site dedicated to helping couples integrate their children into the ceremony. It gives all types of examples of ways of involving children in addition to having some wonderful gifts.

I love the Family Tree Pin

Meant to be given to each child in your new blended family, the leaves in this pin represent parents, children and the bond you will share. During your ceremony have your officiant take a moment to acknowledge your new family with a reading or poem as you and your partner present the pins to the children. Each silver and blue crystal pin arrives on a gift card for presentation, but you may choose to pin the piece on the children's clothing during the ceremony instead.



The Brass New Beginnings Medallion is also a great gift to give children.

If your new beginning includes children, this medallion is a meaningful way to include them in your wedding day and provide a symbol of your blended families. Appropriate for both boys and girls, the medallion is made of genuine brass and is stamped with "A New Beginning" on one side and a scalloped border on the back so you can have it engraved if you like. The medallion arrives with a heartfelt poem and beautifully packaged with the coin tucked in a clear airtight container.
