A wedding is a perfect time to show your daughter how much she means to you as you pass on one of your favorite heirlooms. This is especially meaningful if it is something that your mother gave you. Heirlooms could include a piece of jewelry or a favorite vase or even a book the your family passes down through the generations. If you don’t have any heirlooms, start a new tradition by offering your daughter something that she knows means a lot to you.
