You've found the man of your dreams ... and he comes with a child or two. Or perhaps it's you with the kids, or you're both bringing children into this new relationship.
Whatever the combination, you'll want to let the children know that they are very important, too. You might choose to have a family candle or unity sand during the ceremony. Perhaps, however, you're looking for something that you can give to each child, something that can be their very own, while still expressing the new family that's being created with this ceremony.
For that, you might choose a
family medallion. Family medallions show three intersecting circles, which can represent the mom/bride, the dad/groom, and the children ... or, if you prefer, if could represent the two previous families (mom/kids and dad/kids) joining to form a new, blended family.
Family medallions come in a variety of forms: charm bracelets, as shown, pendants, key chains, lapel pins, and even watch covers. You can choose the style that best suits each child. Make the gift of the medallion part of your wedding ceremony for even more meaning.
