     My FI is doing a separate vow to my daughter during the ceremony promising to be a good dad, etc. and wants to give her a piece of jewelry but doesn't know what to get her. She's 6. We've started scouring Etsy but I thought I might get some good suggestions here too.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    A locket is always nice; then he can add charms later for all her special events like graduation, prom, etc. It could be a very special tradition between them.

    What a sweet idea, that sounds so thoughtful to a separate vow to her!  I do like the charm bracelet like snmcdowell suggested.

    So sweet. I agree that a locket is a good choice. Or, to go with snmcdowell's charm idea, I loved charm bracelets as a little girl and it would definitely be special to give something that requires/encourages adding to it through the years. I like the idea of him giving her something jewelry related - you get a ring, she gets a bracelet or necklace. :)

    I was just wondering about his vows to her - I think that it's such a sweet idea, but I'm kinda wondering about him promising to be a good dad. I her biological dad in the picture at all? Is she clear on what it means to gain a step-dad and exactly who your FI will be to her? Again, I love the idea, I just want to encourage you to make sure your daughter is not confused by the whole thing.

    I like the idea of a locket or a charm bracelet.

    @melodicsighs1 - no, her biological father hasn't had any contact with her since she was 4 months old. My fiance, Drew, has been around since she was around 10 months old. He's all she's ever known and she's just in the last year started calling him Dad. They are great together.

    I had thought locket too but he didn't seem to keen on the idea. I love the idea of a charm bracelet. I'm going to suggest that to him tonight. Thanks girls!

    If you go with the charm bracelet, I would just make sure you get one that you can add links to as she gets better. Maybe get an adult size that you can remove the links for now and add them back later.

    Of course, I agree with the charm bracelet idea! LOL. If he doesn't like the locket idea, maybe a regular necklace will do. It could be in  the shape of a heart.

    I think a nice, quality charm bracelet would be a great idea.  As long as it's not a cheap, cheesy one!! That way they can add to it with all the memories they make while she is growing up.

    Well, I suggested the charm bracelet and he said, "that's in the running." haha, and that's all. Sneaky guy. I know whatever he picks will be perfect and she'll love it. He's putting so much thought into it, it's adorable.

    I guess I'll give you girls an update after our wedding. (sept. 19th)
