Personalised gift for daughter - flowergirl. Opinions...

When you're married, will you all have the same name? If so maybe something cool but simple like 'The Smiths' Or do you have a nickname for him? (For example, I have always been known as Baby Bear #1, my sister is Baby Bear #2 and Mum is Mumma Bear, we normaly sign texts and emails BB#1, BB#2 or MB. We are daft I know.). Or if not just your four initials separated with a full stop would be nice.

For your daughter, I would use your name. Does she call your partner Dad? Because if not you don't want an 'M' for Mummy but no 'D' for daddy. Perhaps best to use your actual initials. I'd get her a charm bracelet, not a pandora or a links of london as they will probably be dated in 14 years time when she wants to start wearing it. Just a simple, no brand, charm bracelet, with the four charms on, and maybe an extra one to say thanks for being a bridesmaid (a princess maybe). Then encourage her to add to it for birthdays and milestones during her life.

No, we won't have the same surname so that won't work. Nor do we have nicknames...Looks like initials it is!

As for duaghter, I agree that the who Pandora thing will have had it's day (I'm not a fan anyway) so thought a necklace with little discs, or bracelet with little discs would be the sort of thing.

And you're right, she won't be calling OH 'dad' so if using his name, ought to use my name. Logical really, I just hadn't thought it through like that ?

Thank you x

Another thought, will your four initials spell anything? Preferably something cool? I only ask because I've just realised my family's initials spell BAGS ha! But my parents are divorced so it won't be going on any charm bracelets!

It could be a 'thing' that you as a family know what it means, but to everyone else is just a random word. I've also just worked out, if me and OH have a boy and a girl AND call them our current chosen names we can be called SEAT (however, this probably won't go to plan and so we won't have a cool family word).

That's not a terrible idea at all. I hadn't thought of that. Initial don't spell anything cool or with meaning...but we could make it work.

Hmmm, worth thinking about

I'm considering getting both my girls lockets that will contain photos of us all as gifts, think they will make lovely keepsakes. Something like this will still symbolise your families unity but can be worn anytime.

I like this idea - but haven't seen lockets for years, and not sure how you go about getting a pic so small..?! How silly of me not to know that ?.

Any ideas where you're getting them from?

Loving these ideas, not seen many lockets though.

Have you thought about something like a personalised Yoyo? at 4 she would probably enjoy "playing" with it (if you allowed that) and it could be engraved with the wedding date and your names? It is something that we stock . Other female gifts we do for weddings include engraved mirror compacts which obviously at 4 she would be way too young for but may appriciate when she is older?

Most high street jewellers stock lockets, infact argos has a good range.

Admittedly, I hadn't thought about the photos until your post, but my aunt got my cousin one for her 21st not so long ago so I'll ask her about it.
