Hi all.
This board is great for second weddings. Brief background-FI is in his 40s, I am 31. Second marriage for me, third for him. He has two children- a son who is 18 who lives with us and an 11 year old daughter who he shares joint custody with her mom (so she's with us half the time). We are getting married in Las Vegas with just the us, the two kids, and a family friend.
While in Vegas, I have little presents every day for each person. We wil lbe there for 5 days. The presents are based on each person's likes, etc (ex. the boy is getting a Zombie Survival Kit, FI is getting a personalized framed print, etc) and are often sentimental or funny. We also bought a Fossil watch for the son as his big present for the wedding since he is the best man. My question is regarding the little girl. I bought her jewelry at Claire's so it's cute but still costume jewelry. I am already paying for her hair and light makeup (I.E. eyeshadow, body glimmer lotion, and lip gloss). I then thought should we get her a really nice small pair of diamond earrings (studs)? I just don't want her to feel slighted in regards to not getting something significant like her brother. She is however getting a personalized robe, bag, One direction bracelet, new dress, shoes,purse, etc). Where it stands now, I have spent about the same on both children for presents for the week. Fi has given me the green light to buy the earrings if I want (they will be less than $100 so age appropriate). Advice?
FYI the wedding is in the middle of a great family vacation where we are going to shows and doing fun family events in Vegas. The kids will already be seeing a Cirque du soleil show, a medieval show, a magic show and staying in an amazing house with our own pool, etc. We wanted a vacation to remember forever and not have the day about just us but us as a family.
