How to Incorporate Stepchildren Into the Wedding

Parenthood doesn’t require DNA—all you need is love. And how do you ensure that the day is truly special for everyone? Here are some great ways to make your blended-family ceremony unforgettable.

1 - Give Them a Role
When they look back on the big day, they will love that they played a part by showering the aisle with flower petals, holding onto the rings for safekeeping or—for the older demographic—standing by your side as a member of the wedding party.

2 - Go Twinsies
Wearing coordinating outfits shows that you’re on the same team.

3 - Make a Vow of Everlasting Love
Let’s be honest—when your fiancé has kids, you are saying "I do" to them as well. Prior to proclaiming your vows to your spouse at the altar, take a moment to promise to cherish, love, and protect your future stepchildren, too. It will mean the world to them and show you're committed to them as well.

4 - Give a Gift (My husband did this and my daughters absolutely LOVED it)
Presenting something special to your soon-to-be child is a wonderful gesture to symbolize that they are an important part of this new family.

5 - Top Off the Cake
Who says that the newlyweds should be the only cake toppers? Add your stepchildren to the tiers, and let them keep the neat memento after the fact. You can even personalize toppers by age and hair color!
