Great idea having the kids light the unity candle with bride and groom Thanks. Please tell your ex spouse and children, my daughter and I found out while watching the news OUCH! That really hurt my daughter. Three years later and she still talks about her pain. She let him know and he wants to be invited. His will be the first invite out! ;) -

My ex-husband got married last summer and even though our daughter attended, she never told me. My ex and I had always been good friends after the divorce. I found out by getting one of the nastiest letters I have ever gotten from his new wife (and I had no idea he was married). So, please, if you're an ex planning to be married, tell your ex-spouse personally. It's a lot less painful.

Including the child of a new spouse can be very meaningful, especially to the child. One way of doing this is to order a Family Medallion, usually in the form of a necklace or bracelet. Search for one of the various web sites.

One tip to include older children in the ceremony is in the unity candle lighting. If the child is old enough have him/her hold your candle with you as you light the unity candle with your new spouse. This can signify the unity of your new family.

My parents got married at home, which was nice, and all three of us got to participate. The only thing they didn't do was introduce my brother and me to our new step-brother until about 45 minutes before the ceremony. Please introduce your kids!
